Disco Beaver from Outer Space

i remember seeing this when i lived with my grandparents, every night for the week if was on super-channel ... i don't remember much about it nearly 25 years later except the HOMO NO MO' part ... i tried not to laugh too loud to wake the folks up, but one night it didn't work ...

to be honest, i had never heard of national lampoon up until that point and that brought a lifetime love of their productions.

and come to think of it, i remember the homosexual Dracula now ... i didn't understand it ... THEN ... two years later i came out of the closet ...

< blush >

that is all.

Before Amazon Women on the Moon, before the Kentucky Fried Movie, before them all (I think), there was Disco Beaver from Outer Space. I watched it on HBO and my dad taped it and then I proceeded to watch the tape to death - I have never seen it in a store for rent. It's great - silly, fun, like the National Lampoon used to be. Sure, it was 1978, it's got Disco Beaver for goodness' sake - it makes fun of TV and movies, it's not politically correct, but just Dragula alone makes it worth watching.

i saw this movie right after it came out back in the late 70's. soon after it disappeared and i looked everywhere for a copy of it to no avail. it took me 10 yrs to get a copy thats in pretty good shape. if you like humor then this is a great movie for you to see.

I still remember when this first came on HBO and looked for it for years in the video store and on the net. Verry funny and a classic for it's time. Also includes an Oingo Boingo song "Martian Girls" which is a triple speed version of the Beach Boys "California Girls" in New Wave form. I highly recommend it if you can get it and would like a copy myself if anyone has one.

This movie couldn't be funnier! It shows life in front of the TV screen. The countless hours one sits in front of the TV set,watching the vast wasteland of TV programming. HBO probably wouldn't show it now, in fear of the Politically Correct Crowd. Let's face it! 23 years ago people didn't have thin skin and could laugh at life. Remember, Ben Franklin said,"All the world is Queer except thee and me -- and sometimes I wonder about Thee"
