Selected notes of "Alien Monsters" behind-the-scenes content

Jadon 2022-02-10 08:01:12

Using the usual soundtrack and rhythm of the B-level monster movie, and organically combining it with the western movie, this work is a good monster movie that is seriously underestimated. In this seemingly crude work, Kevin Bacon plays a frustrated and handsome little garbage worker. His excellent performance fills the whole work with a unique humor and evil. Bloody (in fact, orange blood), funny (the most funny is undoubtedly the pole vault), nervousness (the speed of using the camera to show the monsters at high speed and low position is very genius) and the full description of the characters are very successful.





Featured highlights:



1. The movie used the model that Steve wanted to make a movie in the 1950s;

2. At first I wanted to make a film about "Land Shark" (Note: The poster has the feeling of paying tribute to "Jaws") ;

3. The actual scene of the film is 48 kilometers away in Lone Pine Town, where the production designer spent 2 months to build the entire town;

4. The special effects of the film are basically produced using bulldozers;

5. To Ron Underwood This is his directorial debut. He thinks that the most difficult scene is the car falling into the sand. It was the last night of the whole shooting. The sky was getting brighter, and the leeches quickly absorbed water and the car could not sink;

6. Underwood director My favorite special effect is that the electric drill is drilled on the monster, and then the monster drags it to run. It is made with underground tracks;

7. Underwood likes Kevin Bacon’s authenticity and sense of humor, and thinks that he is in the "Animal House" "Dinner" and "Entire Body" performed well; and Fred Ward also attracted him by his excellent performance in "Pioneer" and "Escape from Alcatraz Island";

8. When designing monsters, go first Observed a large number of real animals and their movement;

9. The original monster shape looked like a male penis, so I redesigned it but did not want to repeat the monster in "Dune Castle". The monster has a lot of muscles;

10. The tentacles of the monster have been produced in 3 versions;

11. The internal organs of the monster are made of cotton wool, stuffed into pantyhose and then soaked in orange methylcellulose mucilage, and added pumpkin pie filling;

10. The huge cliff on the location, the thumbnail model produced by Fantasy Art Company;

11. The original ending was that the two set off for the city, but found that the flashlight was forgotten in Ronda, but the audience wanted to watch it during the screening. When it comes to the kissing scene, I go back to make up shots;
