"Okay, so it's cheeseball. [But] the set's here and it looks good considering it's TV from twenty years back." | |

Abbott and Costello Go to Mars (1953) |
|
"While the sci-fi genre seems like a natural for Bud & Lou to tackle...it almost feels like they had two (or maybe three) scripts that they tried to cobble together.

Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion (1950) |

Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man (1951) |

Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer (1949) |

"This is a mixed bag of gags, plus the real draw of the title--Karloff--is a few steps above a cameo." | |

About Adam (2001) |

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984) |
