Extra extra cool movie! Intricately done. Even when it was having one of few bad moments it was good. Soundtrack is spectacular. Very interesting look at a certain era of Japan.
This is actually, a pretty good movie! I first saw this at a Japanese movie marathon, in a really old theater, with my dad in 1965. I liked the movie but, I remember thinking the starfish aliens looked a little silly. The 60's were great for this stuff. Good times!!!😄
I remember watching this film on TV when I was still in kindergarden in Japan. We sang the same song but we were indoors. When I first saw the Alien turn into a girl, it scared me. Probably for the first time. Never really saw the film in its entirely until now, some 65 years later. It's not as bad as I thought. Didn't even know it was in color.
An old b grade sci- fi film that strangely reflects the comtemporary values of the time and at the same time forward thinking regardless of it's plot and message. Thanks for the upload .
@capq57 😂 (lmao) I don’t know what’s the most ridiculous feature, between the Starfish Costumes and the dialogue. The ONLY things missing were cameo appearances from ‘ Ultraman ‘ or ‘ Johnny Sokko & his Flying Robot ’ .
I sure am glad that you uploaded so many old movies that I thought were lost, I have lots of time on my hands and now I have lots of movies to watch to fill in that time!
good movie, nice special effects...i liked the acting, keizo yagisawa does a fine job and toyomi kawasaki is very relaxed and natural....and everybody speaks pretty good english with not much accent, i had hardly any trouble understanding them.....and the sets all look very real and natural....its good
About this movie that become 1990s arcade: Warning from Space is a Japanese film and The Blob 1958 is a Paramount movie. Developed and Released by Seibu Kaihatsu Inc. both two runs on Raiden arcade hardware and both released in August-October of 1991 sold by fabtek for us version and sold by tecmo for Japanese version. It reused the one Yamaha YM3812 OPL2 and OKI Electric MSM6295 ADPCM. Ported to Sony PS1 and SNES in 1996.
This film was made two years after "Gojira (Godzilla)" was released in movie theaters in Japan. Sputnik I was not yet launched by the Soviet Union. They predicted a satellite would be be orbiting above earth. This is the first appearance of the "starmen". They would appear in several more science fiction films in the 1960s, particularly in the "Japanese Starman" superhero films. Those are great movies for the entire family to watch.
_one species has three LONG fingers -- NO THUMB. thumbs and voice boxes spell trouble. thumbs predispose towards tool making and thereby war. and with no voice boxes, telepathy and peace, is greater. true._
a B movie is a B movie - even from Japan LOL The dubbing is great - they actually sound Japanese. Good movie though - actually held my attention. Thanks Pizzaman :)
One of my favorite Japanese sci fi films. Thanks for the upload! Sure, it's a bit juvenile here and there, much like Ultra Man, but that, for me, adds to its charm. Also, it ends on a positive, uplifting note, unlike so many later science fiction films, particularly those made during the past thirty years or so with their dystopian, nihilistic storylines. What Japanese studio made this? Toho? Daeie? I know that AIP picked it up for TV distribution in America.
Odd ~ that so soon after what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this country would issue a film where such explosives are being asked for from all nations to be used for ‘good’.
(I'll try to not spoil anything but no promises) I was hoping that the sunglasses guy was actually another species of alien that wanted to let the Earth get destroyed. Also, the object was accelerating, which if this were real would mean that it was being propelled on purpose by someone, and that someone could be the other aliens.
'.......Especially the one called - Professor Kamura'........ 'Ooh, which one, On the Island they call Japan, is he...... Oh great leader?' 'Be quiet Klarrg!' PMSL :D
This is hilariously fun! The Starfish aliens have to be the strangest, most ridiculous interpretation of aliens ever. I wonder if original audiences thought it less absurd? This particular telecine version is poor quality. There must be a better version somewhere just based on IMDB stills that have richer saturation and are framed properly. In the opening sequence with the Starfish it looks like pan-and-scan when it quickly pans left to show the leaders, but IMDB says it was shot in 1.37:1 format. I love this channel and waste so much of my life getting my pizza-flix fix!
@@NoahSpurrier That is worth considering, I’ll keep that in mind for future reviews, thanks. In this particular case I’ve seen better stills, from the movie not production stills. The pan & scan tells me someone used a Telecine to copy the film to disk. Oh, here’s a link to a cleaner copy ua-cam.com/video/W9A6qMidqsI/v-deo.html
@@NoahSpurrier "...like Technicolor" ? > I went rereading about Technicolor , which was not the name of a process, but only a brand name from the company. As I already knew, Technicolor developed and offered both 2 coulour and 3 coulour processes (starting on a different timeline). Indeed, it depended on cost. 2 strip processes 1 (additive green red - left for process:) > 2 (substractive green red, left for process:) > 3 (same with much more complicated production process) and then a 3 strip process marketed as "Deluxe". Indeed Technicolor process 4, soon prooved to be way more expensive and needing excessive set lighting then a 2 strip process, Also, soon, then direct real coulour recording came on the market. (Kodachome 1935 and Agfacolor Neu 1936) Kodachrome starting 1950-1952 into first film production. (Fujicolor only started production in 1955) Anyway... Back to this particular copy of the American release of Warning from Space. I've seen at least 4 different copies. They all differ. You can find an original 1.37:1 width version online. You will find copies with and without the pre titles (from the American dub sound studio). Sometimes the first image of a short distant craft entering a huge spaceship is included, sometimes not. (Like the version here neither had titles nor that spaceship sequence) Coulours (quality) seems to differ completely not just from one copy to another one, but even within the same copy, unexplainable jumps occur from sequences that look almost monochome and vague, and those crisp and with vivid coulours. I cannot know it for sure, but it looks like if de different copies were reassembled with fragments from different origins ? It is strange, anyway. It cannot be due to the original American release in cinema (1.37:1) and the version for broadcast. But the version for broadcast, could originally have been in a re-degraded B&W ? Nothing much is known about these things, "Information lost in Time" :-) :-) :-) (I will search for an original Japanese copy)
2:24 & 28:47 Crimony. Looks like a Klan rally where the crosses accidentally got stuck in the robes. But for a low-budget pic, this is watchable. Too bad they didn't have Raymond Burr available to play a US reporter covering all this, just to add in some local interest for the US release. :)
OH NO - star people from space ROTFL no stereoscopic vision. how do they gather sustenance? no fingers or digits - how do they build or make anything? one of the silliest alien types i have ever seen. if this were color, they should pastel colors: pink, light blue, green, yellow. and sing - turn it into a kid's movie :}
Hey man, I knew that it would come down to fighting a war between Carl Jr.(Hardeesfor you east coast people) and earth. All we need is to get Col. Sanders to lead us earthlings into the battle!
oh my gawd. really? one eyed star people with no fingers building complex machinery and conquering space? reeeeeeaaaaaallllly? really???? Is this real life?

I am a sick old expat who lives in Bangkok. I could watch these all day, has to have English. God bless.
Thank you for this channel. I love these old 50's and 60's sci-fi and monster flicks. I'm having a blast watching these!!!

I've seen plenty of tacky old movies before, but those are the drop-dead goofiest aliens I've ever seen in my life! Thoroughly enjoyable!
So this is where the KKK got the idea of wearing bed sheets. Huh, Who would have known.........Aliens
Oh come on haven’t you ever seen star men before?

Surprisingly well made and effective. Sci-fi fans will enjoy it as I did.

Best thing about this movie is the glimpse of 50s Japan.
Exactly
Excellent! Love the old ones. Thx for posting.
Marvelous, brilliant…. love to watch it again and again…

Entertaining film! Thanks for posting.

a frying saucer! this is great, thanks
Now this is a Sci-fi flick.
Thanks for posting it.
That was a great, under-rated film. Definately a classic.
What other shape would men from the stars have?
uhhh I thin... ok....
_one species has three LONG fingers -- NO THUMB. thumbs and voice boxes spell trouble. thumbs predispose towards tool making and thereby war. and with no voice boxes, telepathy and peace, is greater. true._
Does that make them the stars of this movie?
👍🤣🤣🤣
Im so proud of Decarabia! My little star friend has his own movie now!
Love this ! Watched Day of the Triffids last night. Island of Terror is next !
Love these classic cheesy sci fi movies!! Those star aliens remind me of Starro from Justice League comics!!
My Auntie Nellie bought me a pair of pyjamas exactly the same as those aliens were wearing.
Very nice space movie 🎉🎉🎉👌😀
For a low budget movie, it's amazing it has so many big "stars". lol
BAHAHAHAHA! Almost spit my drink across the room!
That sounds _fishy_ to me!
Shocking !
Nice
The star creatures were the most epic space creatures EVER!
Great old shows
a B movie is a B movie - even from Japan LOL
The dubbing is great - they actually sound Japanese.
Good movie though - actually held my attention. Thanks Pizzaman :)
The Stars of the Show??
Star-shaped sofa cushions invade earth~ oh my
You should read a 2 book series by David Weber. The 1st is titled on Death Ground. The 2nd is titled the Shiva Option. Scary possibility story.

I think it was Daiei...
Hollywood got there and stole boat loads of ideas and claimed them
Talking starfish and nukes, what more could you want?
Aliens wouldn't dare attack looking like that they would get laughed back off the planet.
Hahahaha - "Oh, what's this?" "What is it, Doctor?" "I don't know" LOL great dialogues.
Odd ~ that so soon after what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this country would issue a film where such explosives are being asked for from all nations to be used for ‘good’.
😂😂😂 There are no words !! 😂😂😂☺
What about "Shit" ?
Great movie
The teletubbies strike more terror
I think it’s a good film
Glad I miss this movie in the 70s
Love watching drunk Japanese dancing! 🤩
Truly me with stars in their eyes
Where is Gamera ? Why didn't he help ?? So much for the friend of all children.

I think the leader of the One Eyed walking Yellow Starfish people is the robot on Lost in Space, Dick Tufeld.
Those aliens make Godzilla look believable 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 but I stilled enjoyed the movie.
The star aliens were the latest leap in movie technology and special effects. Maggie Simpsons unknown siblings.
'.......Especially the one called - Professor Kamura'........ 'Ooh, which one, On the Island they call Japan, is he...... Oh great leader?' 'Be quiet Klarrg!' PMSL :D
One summer I went out side and I. Got sunburn..but I'm ok now
You see, the dialog really is memorable
@PizzaFlix lotsa sauce and cheese on this fun-filled film!
classic ending scenes . is this a series ? I've seen the aliens before .
this is so bad i thought i was watching a marx brothers movie. the costumes were first rate. it's probably going to get an oscar for costume design.
Miss the oldies . stuff nowadays just traumatizes kids too much .

I think the quality is more due to it being shot with a 2 color film process, which was cheaper than a three color process like Technicolor.

I watched it on 1.5 speed to cut the fluff.
日本で終戦後こんな映画がかつて制作されていたとは。
Say that to my face lol
Now, where did I put my Murium formula?
OH NO - star people from space ROTFL
no stereoscopic vision. how do they gather sustenance? no fingers or digits - how do they build or make anything? one of the silliest alien types i have ever seen. if this were color, they should pastel colors: pink, light blue, green, yellow. and sing - turn it into a kid's movie :}
Amazing the Japanese could make such a fantastic movie less then a decade after the war.
How about Gojira(Godzilla). Made just 9 years after the war ended. And using Nuclear Fallout, contamination into the plot of the movie.
@GaslitWorld f. Melissa B I agree with most of it but don't understand the German reference. The Japanese are unique.
Maggie Simpsons from outerspace.
