The Lost Skeleton Returns Again

PG 6.8
2010 1 hr 33 min Horror , Comedy

THE LOST SKELETON RETURNS AGAIN takes on a whole new series of clichés, primarily drawn from those low budget adventure epics -- rich in potted ferns and stock footage -- that thrived on cheap back lots from the early 30s to the late 50s. It also wanders beyond the narrow confines of jungle pictures, parodying everything from gangster movies to those Mondo films of the 1960s, with their salacious native dances.

......................................................from Pasto,Colombia...Via: L.A. CA., CALI, COLOMBIA and ORLANDO, FL No, I'm not trying to take any of the credit for this film...Just making a reference to my review of ALIEN TRESPASS. My calling card, so to speak, on this sub-genre. Some of the things mentioned there do apply here, so I'll make an effort to focus on the elements that make RETURNS AGAIN different.First, let me specify, 7 3/4 Stars, to be precise. From the same group of 50's low-budget Sci-Fi aficionados who brought us the definitive genre benchmark: LOST SKELETON OF CADAVERA. Seeing the original first will probably enhance your enjoyment of this commendable second offering, but by no means is indispensable. For anyone out there really to savor this one, to fully appreciate the subtleties (or intentional lack thereof) of every deadpan line in every scene, you must be among those of us who couldn't get enough of the schlocky 50's/early 60's originals! That having been said, RETURNS AGAIN does begin to wear thin at times. The redundant title foreshadows what we all have seen time and again: Excessive reliance on recycling bits from the original. However, there were enough cleverly conceived and well-executed new nuggets to make it well worth your while and provide you with quite an entertaining 90 minutes...8*.....ENJOY/DISFRUTELA! Any comments, questions or observations, in English or Español, are most welcome!

I loved the Skeleton of Cadavra, and this sequel is just as good. Once again, the movie lovingly plays tribute to terrible old movies, with awful dialog, perplexing cutting, inappropriate reactions, terrible special effects, and non-sequitors galore. A cast of talented actors beautifully recreates talentless acting. I especially liked Mrs. Armstrong, whose peculiar reactions and weird sunniness are outrageously funny.If I must criticize the movie, I would say that it's a little less funny towards the end. The funniest scene involving the hilarious repetition of the word "slowly" left me breathless with laughter, and as good as the rest of the movie is, little of it is as funny as that scene.All the same, this movie is amazing.

I first saw Blamire's amusingly off-kilter approach in a collection of 3 minute video shorts call "Tales From The Pub". This little treasure proved to me that Blamire is an master of the awkward pause and the inspired tin-eared malapropism. He's also very good at getting actors with the right sense of timing (and humor) to present his dry-as-a-bone parody and tribute to the less, er, distinguished archives of our national film heritage.When I found out Blamire was doing feature length projects, I wasn't sure that he could sustain the mood of his short pieces without having everything fall apart and irritate the audience. But once again, Blamire has shown that he knows his sources, he knows their strengths and weaknesses, and he knows how to structure and pace his stories so that the end result is still a lot of fun. Admittedly, things do get a bit brittle after 30 or 40 minutes, so I recommend taking the occasional break or just watching it in chapters on your DVD.I recommend seeing part 1 of this story, "The Lost Skeleton Of Caldara" before watching this if you can - it will add a bit more dimension and back-story to the hijinks here. But it isn't strictly necessary - you can watch this by itself and still have a good time, assuming you enjoy Blamire's sense of humor.Great fun, and it was good to see Frank Dietz was still in the business and finding work after the disaster that was "Zombie Nightmare".

Maybe its because I saw this one first, but this movie is amazing. Yes, the first one has better flow, but the dialog of this one is sooooo much better, especially Paul with his bitterness speech. Animala gets way more play, I love Dr. Ellemy Royne, because she really is a villain scientist, and not quite as pathetic as Rudolf Yaber, Betty is even sillier here, Jungle Brad is way more manly - As someone who has watched a ton and a half of MST3k, as well as some other really bad movies, this was awesome.I agree we could have done with less of Chinfa, but I love the cantaloupe dance, and her interaction with Animala is worth putting up with the strains of the double negative. Although its the first time Grammar has been traded for goods, so I have to give a bow to the novelty of that.And also, there is more skeleton. And if there is a third movie I want way way more skeleton, cause he's awesome sauce.And yes, some people won't get it, because it's a genre film, and its just not some people's cup of tea. But I think people who don't get it should just admit they don't get it and not automatically blame the movie just cause its not their taste. Feel free to watch something you like better, and leave the cheesy fun to us.
