Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet

Actors: Basil Rathbone, Faith Domergue, Gennadi Vernov, Georgiy Zhzhonov, Yuri Sarantsev, Vladimir Yemelyanov
Rating: 1 out of 10, The next in my exploration of Bad Cinema and apparently a Russian movie that was acquired and dubbed in English. Somehow Sherlock himself, good ole Basil Rathbone ended up in this with a completely nonsensical part. So bad as to defy description. In 2020 three spaceships approach Venus where the first one crashes and the second one is sent into rescue. They find a planet inhabited by dinosaurs and hungry plants. After fending off an attack by a bunch of mini-Godzillas the first bunch starts wandering towards their rescuers. Meanwhile they are in and out of contact with the ship remaining in orbit “manned” by Marsha which led to Brady Bunch flashbacks by the number of times she was called. The rescuers are held up by their need to conduct scientific explorations – it was all very Russian. Sublimely bad cinema.

MVP: Faith Domergue as the popular radio operator Marcia
