In about two hours time we will be beyond Atlantis, but first we must watch Beyond Atlantis to get past the island of "fish people".

ET phone home? I didn't know he came from a jungle planet.

Straight to a white lady in a bikini. Is this set in the Savage lands?
And the star of the show! Cheap makeup effects!

Sig Haig is a pimp? So he spent his vacation in nice shirts and the best cigars the film's budget could afford.

East Eddy and a West Eddie in town? They are one Ed short of grown up Ed, Edd, & Eddie. Not surprising those boys went into crime.

Oh no. If Sid isn't the protagonist it's gonna be this shit head betting on cock fighting? Teh fuck?

While I am not surprised this movie has someone groping a boob. I didn't expect it to be Sid Haig's manboob being fondled in the center of the screen.

Ya know. This might just be the one 70s movie that never has an overly long scene in a wood paneled sheriff's office.

Wait. Why is the guy betting on cock fighting talking to himself in a different shirt? Is he twins? Or did every white guy have the same horrible hair in the 70s?

strangefour with the Pleiades

Adventuring music! 70s style!
Wait does she change her shirt twice on the trip to the island?

So her translating involves talking slowly to the natives in English loudly... Is she a scientist or a tourist?

And now concerto for scuba diving stock footage in G minor.

Oh teh heck? The soundtrack PAINFULLY shifted. Youtube did you have to replace some music here? Why is it suddenly a heavy drum machine? Did I accidentally open a second window?

Wet fur bikini is not a good look. Her chest looks like a wet dog.

Oh the out of place music track is back and loud. But not as jarring this time.

And the second soundtrack was over the dialog so we missed something. And I think the music hypnotized some of the cast.

Oh right! That was the thing aside from the stupid fish eyes that struck me about this movie. Anthropology lady's black and white outfit is a great fit. I need to steal the clothes for some character design.

Oh she changed outfits again. The white front / black back pants are gone. My interest in the movie has waned again.

"Well if inbreeding gave everyone on the island fish eyes, how come blond lady and her dad Poseidon don't have fish eyes?"
"I dunno. I'm not that kinda scientist. I'm just spit balling here."

ROCKCLIMBING has been replaced by PEARLDIVING
Both result in DEEP HURTING

"When will you mate? It has been days!"
Poseidon is pimping out his daughter.
Him and Sid Haig are more alike than they realize.

70s trumpet take me away from this new horrific scene of white people swimming.

Just give me one little shark attack? Some piranhas. A giant squid. Anything. I am tired of these identical scuba scenes.

Omg can Sid Haig kill someone already? Why else is he in this movie if not to be a bad guy with a gun? Make something happen!

BOOOOOOOOAAAAAAATTTT!!!
Oh hi Manuel. What do you want?

"My ass is scared to me. So the temple blows up."
Was this movie worth it for that line? No. But it's a great line none the less.

Criminals and cock fighters vs inbred fishmen cultists who lure people to the island with pearls to kill them.
We have no one to root for here. But alot of them are dying now so... hooray?

Even the girl fight takes us back to underwater footage? Gods be damned movie!

@Newpa_Hasai @strangefour c'mon we're barely half an hour into this movie, we can't be talking about the next one already

well okay we can but it's wishful thinking

@strangefour disturbingly, I am somewhat reminded of the yeti

@strangefour CAST? Uh... what about the AUDIENCE!?

@strangefour At least the film score can't settle on one style for any two sequences #monsterdon
