It Came from Hollywood (1982)
Director: Malcolm Leo, Andrew Solt
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A sloppy compilation of the lowlights of schlock. Z-movie monsters and specious effects are wheeled on for a few easy laughs, with unfunny introductions by the likes of Dan (My Stepmother Is an Alien) Aykroyd. Most of the clips didn't come from Hollywood at all; they came from Britain, Japan and garages in the Midwest. Some of them do, but anyone who laughs at scenes from classics like War of the Worlds and The Incredible Shrinking Man is off my Christmas card list for good.Author: TCh
