Two of the films are available on Google Video, so I've posted them here for you to look at. I'm not a fan of watching films in the way myself, but let them load and then just poke around...you'll be AMAZED at what you find. Groovy music for RoboHeads (think Kraftwerk minus rythym), wild costumes and thriftstore effects all wrapped around the silliest stories set in space ever written.
I'm thinking we need more Al Brescia on this blog!!
STAR ODYSSEY (aka Metallica / Sette uomini d'oro nello spazio / Captive Planet)
COSMOS-WAR OF THE PLANETS (Anno zero - guerra nello spazio)

The music for these evokes a bubble machine in need of tune up! I also am always amused by the psuedo's of the Italian cast. And the presence of Roger Browne, my favorite Eurospy. I'm thinking of creating on videogame based on these or a low tech blog-game. And what is Animation Studio H or whatever it's called?!
That Cosmos-War of the Planets box art gives me chills. You should also seek out "Mission Stardust" aka the much cooler name "4....3....2...1....morte" The soundtrack is good and the LP's cover is worth the price alone.
No kidding Robert, these are some CRAZZZZZY little items. Beautiful in their oddity though, and I mean that.
I have that album Mike! Awesome stuff and I'd love to see the movie. The score is co-composed(?) by Antón García Abril- the same person that did the BLIND DEAD series. And I sure do love those!
I really hope the as yet to be converted to Bresciadom poke around these bizarre films! Now someone get me THE BEAST IN SPACE on DVD...please.
The entire movie is on Google video?
Yes indeed, though I'm sure it is not supposed to be. Nice chance for people to see something they may never catch though.
