Indy filmmaker Phil Tucker didn't have much money to spend on special effects.
So he put a space helmet on a gorilla suit and called it "Robot Monster."
It was a valiant effort.
Ro-Man was played by ape-suit actor George Barrows.
The music was composed by Elmer Bernstein.
The film was shot in four days, in 3D, for approx. $16,000.
It grossed a million dollars in its initial release.
It has since become one of the most popular "bad movies" of all time.
I neither own nor claim any rights to this material. Just having some fun with it. Thanks for watching!
