Well, hyperbole aside, this is what a couple of friends and I did one summer day in 1983.
Pilot crash lands on strange planet (farmers field!) gets attacked by monsters an then rescued - although we ran out of light so you can't tell what's going on.

I had this transferred to VHS many years ago and at that time I added music from the soundtrack of "First Men In The Moon".

A few years ago, made a DVD of it and gave it the "star" on his 40th Birthday.

This is the DVD cover:

Just like fifties sci-fi - the poster is always better than the movie

Terry that's great! It's like the digests that end abruptly! I wasn't too sure what happened at the end but the effects you did are nice!

Thanks for posting that.
