I saw movie as a kid. Dad even bought me a model of that nasty red robot, Maximilian. But, I don't remember seeing the trailer. Most trailers for modern movies make me Not want to see the movie. This one though, has me itching to find a copy of The Black Hole.
One of my favorite sci-fi flicks to this day. I can hear the theme music in my head - and I didn't even play the trailer. :P
(And I agree with Norman: many trailers nowadays turn me off - only for me to find out much later that the movie was better than the trailer even hinted at. Hollyweird needs to get its marketing folks' heads out of their back-ends.)
The Cygnus Model is amazing. Would love to have that in my room..haha!...i wonder what happened to that model along with the Palomino and The Probe. Must be in some underground vault in Calif.
The Black Hole freaked me out as a child (I was six when it came out) but I love it to this day.
ReplyDeleteWow, it has been a long time since I saw this gem. Gotta get my hands on a copy.

Got the DVD a few months ago and love it.
ReplyDeleteInterested in also doing The Cat from Outer Space?
I like how the trailer trys to set the film up as a very serious horror/thrillerish film.
ReplyDeleteAnd then we get our first look at out terrible duo of robots with their ludicrously huge "eyes"* and that's the end of that..
* Honestly now, what WERE they thinking?
