One of my favorite robots is Maximilian from The Black Hole. One of the only true “evil” robots (Terminators aren’t bad, they’re just programmed that way.) Max kills on his own, even against his insane creator’s wishes.
Maximillian was a brilliant design for an evil movie robot. The robots with the big cartoon, eyes though.... I don't know what the hell they were thinking when they designed those. Maybe toy sales to really young kids. Even as a young kid though, I thought that those robots looked so dumb. Their design didn't fit the movie design at all. It's like they were making this dark, sci-fi, movie, and some Disney executive got cold feet and said, "Because we're Disney, no one will see our movie unless we put goofy cartoon characters in it! Put some cartoon characters in it!" And then all the people involved in making the movie facepalmed.
@@BlackburnBigdragonexcept Roddy and Slim made the robots work. They gave that staid emotionless appearance and through voice alone made them the best characters in the movie. So in theory you should have been right, but they made it work. Now the ending that was incongruous with the rest of the film...
I've seen the Russian version of this film, dubbed in English. It was actually not a bad old sci-fi film. Watching it with the added material of girls kinda makes it look silly. More of a happy ending for Robot John though. The only one of the crew who can't have sex on a planet full of women (with added bonus, they don't talk).
_Planeta Bur,_ dubbed in English as _Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet_ (with Basil Rathbone and Faith Domergue added). Slow-moving, but decent. This version forgot that the mysterious voice was helpful and suffered from other silliness.
In *Planeta Bur* there is a female member of the expedition. She stays in the rocket and talks to the others over the radio. She has a great importance in encouraging them to keep their spirits up. All her scenes were cut. It might be because they the dubbing would be too jarring? Or maybe they just thought the emotional dialogue was too boring?
To those below add the sexy robot in Metropolis (1925). Then there is the murderous robot head in Hardware (1990), which is responsible for the gory mayhem that ensues from the metal parts it controls in the heroine's apartment.
I was going to say that Robin specified favorite robots from BAD movies, but then I remembered that Mechagodzilla was featured in Ready Player One, so I guess that would technically qualify.
My favorite movie robot? Gort, of course, although Robby is pretty cool. Sitting through this movie is possibly a sign of masochistic tendencies; even the Venusian Spice Girls couldn't liven this up.
Seen this when I was a little kid, but I remember the look of the movie, the robot saving the men and the women. I'd love to create an R rated pulp sci fi movie!
One of the things that always tickles me about this film is the use of a C93 Borchardt pistol when the cosmonauts, or astronauts, or whatever are being menaced by the space dinosaur. I guess it looked even more futuristic than a C96 Mauser. The other fellow looks to be sporting a Makarov
Planeta Bur is actually a pretty good movie. This was glued together from another Russian film, Nebo Zovyot. Corman had Mamie Van Doran on the hook for one more film, so he and Bogdonovitch put her in this. As drive in a title as you can think of.
When I was little, I loved watching sci-fi movies on Saturday after Creature Features, and I especially loved movies with robots in them. I saw this version first, so when I later watched Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet, I kept wondering where the scene with the women were. Not that I really cared as I truly didn't find them all that appealing, it just puzzled me that they weren't in it. It wasn't until years later that I learned the history of both films. I was always impressed by the fact that in the scene where the astronauts are passed out, they actually went to the trouble of using the robot's hand and arm to awkwardly give the men the pills and revive them with water, rather than just cutting away and implying that the robot did it easily. Movies often show robots with impractical hands/claws and then imply that they easily manipulated something, but they rarely go to the trouble of actually showing them do it. By the way, the robot showed up in a commercial for an Australian or New Zealand bank, along with Robot B9 from Lost in Space and a Doctor Who Dalek (even though Daleks aren't robots). I only know of it because it was posted to the net.
There's no toppling Robby the Robot from the throne of greatest robot, so I'll spend my comment on some really underrated robots: The awesome mechanical monsters from Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Nekron 99 from Wizards (aka: Cobalt 60), and the most underrated of all, Huey Dewey and Louie from Silent Running.
Science Adviser, with this navigation instrument, looks, every inch, the commanding technocrat. Andre, "I've got a girlfriend... but you wouldn't know her... she lives on another planet." Favourite movie robots (aside from the bangers already mentioned below), I'll add WALL·E and EVE, plus Der Golem, the Gunslinger (Yul Brynner) from "Westworld", Proteus IV from "Demon Seed", Big Hero-6, Bumblebee, and Gigolo Joe from "AI".
The other edit: Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet is awesome. That robot is super cool. I kind of love the premise of this movie: re-edited from a Russian sci-fi movie by Francis Ford Coppola Viva la Russian sci-fant movies; Aleksandr Ptushko or Timur Bekmambetov next, please!
"They're dead," because Venus has a surface temp of 730 Kelvin. The space program ruined so much good science fiction. But John is still my second favorite robot after the Lost in Space Robot.
I LOVE the performances of your Father and the occasional Daughter! I`m happy you all have each other! You are the best reviewer!!! Cheers from Quebec!
You know it's Corman, when he tried to make the Russian sci-fi more palatable by adding Viking Women vs. a Sea Serpent. (Check out what he did trying to make head or tail of impenetrably surreal Japanese anime "Angel's Egg".)
This was during AIP's forien movie phase during the 60's. Buy a cheap forien film, dub in new dialog ( don't follow the plot if you don't like it ) and put it out for the Summer drive in run. After that, show it onlocal Tv for years to come. Sword And Sandle epics ( Italian ) Giant Monster movies ( Japanese ) and Space Movies (Russian ). Cheap movies that made AIP money. Fav movie robot? Marvin The Paranoid Android from HITCHIKE'S GUIDE THE GALAXY. At the end of the book series he had traveled thrue time so much he was 35 times old then the Universe and had God's last message ...
Favorite movie robots Kiryu (Mechagodzilla built over the skeleton of Gojira), the Iron giant, Roy (though he’s technically a biological robot), R2D2 and C-3PO.
Robot John seems to be a combination of Robby and Hal. Was Tera made by the same Mexican prop studio that made another flying monster in a different SF movie whose title I forger?
Other animals have evolved to be more attractive to the opposite sex. Maybe evolving better hair and makeup makes sense and our planet was just a bit backward?
I need you guys to review those Russian sci fi films that these awful cut-paste trashpackets used to make their... "films". Some of those Soviet-era films were truly awesome, with striking set design and an awesome retro-futurist vibe.
I just recently watched this one and once you said, "directed by Peter Bogdanovich", I realized why the narrator's voice sounded familiar. As for the movie. That's about it, yeah.
It's a shame that this, Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet, and Planeta Bur, alongside a handful of Stooge shorts, an Abbott and Costello movie, and Queen of Outer Space are really the only examples of the subgenre of "Jungle Venus" films. It's such a fun concept to think of Venus as a world of lush jungles and giant lizards, I don't know why the moon and Mars seemed to dominate the space exploration pictures of the 50's. Venus deserved more attention when such a theory was still plausible.
Peter Bogdanovich, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorcese, Jonathan Demme - just four names who rocked out schlock for Roger Corman before moving on to bigger and better things, becoming legends in the process. Hey, we all gotta start somewhere! It's just too bad they didn't have their own cult movie review science advisor.😊
"My self preservation mechanism says I must eliminate extra weight." It's not enough to program a robot with Asimov's Laws. You also need to make sure it understands the priorities.

Cheers to you for surviving this film from beginning to end-- that's no easy feat. You're absolutely right-- it's dull as hell, and the only reason I watched it was because I have a strange fascination for "recycled" cinema, i.e., movies whose footage has been repurposed to create or augment other works of film. It's like a drug for me-- I can't stop watching these kind of oddities, lol. If you're ever interested in checking out more "repurposed" B-movies, I could recommend a few, for better or worse.
The video hosting service for Patreon members, arghacademy, is almost unwatchable by it suddenly and repeatedly dropping out of HD (going from 720p to 360p). Any way to get them to clean up their service?
So let me make sure I got this straight. Prehistoric Planet means Basil Rathbone. Prehistoric Women means, well, women. Original Russian title means none of the above. Got it. 👍 Favorite robot hero = R2D2 from "Star Wars" Favorite robot villain = Maximillian from "The Black Hole" (1979)
Robin, I know I'm not a Patreon and I don't really get to make suggestions, but if you're looking for modern bad movies, Vampire Academy comes to mind. Take a look at it if you can, it's so convoluted and cliche it's hillariously bad!
Firstly: It's utterly unfair that Robin has the superpower to make me laugh out loud by just saying, "Thrilling." Secondly: I know it isn't but it REALLY looks like the Science Advisor has a scale model of Robot John! Whatever item it *really* is, my head canon will still be that the Science Advisor can travel through Time and Space in the DRC Cinematic Universe - and actually conceived of Robot John - and still keeps the prototype model......
When watching this movie, there was one though running through my mind. How many spit takes did the Venusian Women have? I mean those actresses were eating raw fish, something tells me that is not at least appetizing.
Poor Robot John. Just from his name alone, he's now one of my all time favorite movie robots. And damn. Robot John has some serious junk in the trunk! Look at the size of his butt!
Venus is shrouded in clouds and has a dense atmosphere that acts as a greenhouse and heats the surface to above the melting point of lead. It has a mean surface temperature of 867°F (464°C). So Venus - not Mercury - is the hottest planet in our solar system.
But who, i ask you WHO, would go on an expedition to this planet of young, exotic women? "I'll stand guard!" "You can count on me!" "And I'll bring my bloodhounds along!"
Hi Robin. Oh, I like Teddy from 'A.I. Artificial Intelligence'. Sorry to comment a second time but I am a little concerned about the globe of the Earth behind your dad. It doesn't appear to be Earth if I am not mistaken and I am worried it could be a Mandela Effect or Glitch in the Matrix.
"Yep, they're dead." Love that smile on your Dad's face, Robin!
Agreed 😊
Beat me to it.
I watch Robot John topple into the lava, and a quip from MST3K pops into my head:
"Aww! They killed off the only likeable character!"
1:55 "Ground Control to Robot John."
Anything with Maimie Van Doren is worth a watch!
Robin: Right, they're dead. Science Advisor: Smiles, then grins. Me: Laughs delightedly!
0:40 “Rubies”…”Close”.
Brilliant joke, perfectly delivered Robin!

Robby was amazing and Gort had class, but you gotta love TOBOR the Great!
