This classic Saturday morning movie matinee serial of the 1930's may not have been intended as comedy, but then you see the space ships wobbling through the air (is that a sparkler at the back of the ship? and should they really sound like an electric razor?), normal sized lizards for monsters, characters with turnip heads and some truly jaw droppingly bad dialogue... this isn't just bad, it's brilliantly bad... you will be hooked...
