Dante's Area 52

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
Yes, I know that it's as far from a horror film as you can get, but don't flame me for this because it DOES have a relation to great old monster films...

Did anybody else catch all of the 50's monsters in "Looney Tunes: Back in Action"? God bless Mr. Joe Dante.

I haven't seen it but Dante's monster movie references (along with the rumored GREMLIN-cameo) are the only things that remotely interest me about it. Maybe I'll rent it some day.

Dante needs to make a really great flick again ... and SOON!

I....just can't bring myself around to paying cash for this one.

I've seen a lot of the stuff KNB created for the film up close and personal (like the Triffids), but I can't sit through a Looney Tunes movie.

I'll rent the disc and find the Area 52 chapter.

It's in there complete with music from "Gremlins". Also of note is a REALLY funny cameo by Roger Corman and another by Kevin McCarthy, complete with pod.

where were the gremlins in this film? i thought the cameo was the shitty car brendan fraser drives. it kinda resembled the car from the first film.

i like this movie by the way. its interesting to see how he dealt with all the forced (on him) stuff. another director would have just given up.

The gremlin cameo was, in fact, that shitty car. It was a "Gremlin". About five seconds of the Gremlins theme played the first time they showed it.

I just liked it that they showed a Dalek.

The Area 52 stuff was heavily edited, and Dante plans to expand it back to it's original form for the DVD release.

Warner brass originally wanted Kevin McCarthy's cameo out. Their quote: "Get rid of the geezer with the lima bean."
