Just thought other day, while getting a dose of The Van Damme and The Dolph in Universal Solider, I was thinking it was about time we had another “Our Top…” post here at Attack From Planet B.
Inspired by their amazing acting abilities to nail the roles of mindless computer controlled humanoids, so much so at some points it didn’t even look like acting, they were that good. I though we should have a look at our top Robots, Cyborgs & Humanoids. However, being us we’re not going to picking your R2-D2’s or your Terminators, we’re going to go B for these wonders of technology.
So head on inside to see if any of your favourite talking trash cans made it onto our list…

Welcome to the Red Light Revolution, a collision of traditional Chinese sensibilities and modern sexuality.
From its humble DC comic origins through to its decidedly B-Movie appeal, Swamp thing is one of more interesting comic book failures, overwhelmingly camp in places, with some incredibly dated effects work, but brought to us by one of the biggest cult directors going, Wes Craven.
Dom, takes us on a retrospective look into the wonderful world of DC’s Swamp Thing. Head on in to see what’s going down in the swamp…
Just before Christmas we brought you the latest trailer for one of this year’s mega-bonkers Hollywood blockbusters, Battleship. Yep, that film based on the popular board game, where some annoying kid would shouts out “You sunk me battleship” before going of in a sulk because he lost to his younger sister.
So to follow up on the trailer, a new international poster has been released for Peter Berg’s big dumb, but hopefully fun blockbuster. So head on in to view the bonkers of it.
Shortly before the start of World War II the German High Command began a secret investigation into the powers of the supernatural. Ancient legend told of a race of warriors who used neither weapons nor shields, and who’s superhuman power came from within the earth itself. As Germany prepared for war, the SS secretly enlisted a group of scientists to create an invincible soldier. It is known that the bodies of soldiers killed in battle were returned to a secret laboratory near Kolblentz, where they were used in a variety of scientific experiments.
It was rumoured that towards the end of the war Allied Forces met German squads that fought without weapons, killing only with their bare hands.

Honestly there is one subgenre within the viewing habits of the average cult film enthusiast that needs a little more love. Specifically this would be the Blaxploitation film from the 1970’s to early 1980’s. These films where really a breed of their own and utterly perfect for their time period.
So Dominic has brought us one of his favs, the Kung-fu Afro kicking, jive talking, smooth mother shut your mouth, Black Belt Jones.

With the template set back in the late 80’s by the all-conquering Die Hard, the caravan of movies to take on the “lone everyman against terrorists” storyline was bound to be long and patchy. With ever action star taking their turn at the role, including Wesley Snipes in Passenger 57, Steven Seagal in Under Siege and Stallone in Cliff-hanger.
With all of these films getting their due, one that seems to always slip under the radar of many a viewer is Jean-Claude Van Damme’s entry, Sudden Death, Die Hard at a hockey match.
So head on inside to see if the muscles from Brussels can stand toe to toe with the daddy, Die Hard.
