A GIF(t) from the internet

If anyone knows how to track down the creator of this rather nice GIF, let me know so I can give them a credit.

The Heirs of King Kong or "Gli eredi di King Kong" as they say in Italy is actually the film Destroy All Monsters, rebranded with a cheeky little reference to the greatest of the apes who of course isn't in the actual film.

And if you think that's just a tad underhand and misleading perhaps you should have a closer look at the spacemen featured in both of these two Italian promotional posters.

Yes, those are indeed a couple of different images of Shado astronauts from the British TV series; UFO, who, unsurprisingly, also don't feature in this film. - Sneaky!

This one is for you, Tim. It seems you weren't the only one who thought the actual suits used in this film were uninspiring.

Destroy All Monsters (1968)

Destroy All Monsters, released in Japan as Kaijū Sōshingeki (Attack of the Marching Monsters)is the ninth entry in the original Godzilla series.

I used to love these films as a nipper, a regular of the Saturday morning movies on TV, after or instead of TISWAS. Unfortunately nobody seems to put them on any more and I also suspect they might not have translated through the years so I might just keep the memories intact.

Don't especially remember these chaps but then despite the bright colour, they're not an especially memorable design.

Thanks again Tim

Star Wars Ep1 - The Phantom Menace (1999)

Three unnamed background "spacers" from The Phantom Menace... that have since been named and given backgrounds, if only so they can go onto the action figure wish lists!
