The Lost Skeleton Returns Again (2010)

I'll tell you why so serious

hyped garbage

Excellent adaptation.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

......................................................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 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".

Like "The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra", "Returns Again" is best described as wonderfully talented people doing very silly things. It's really impossible to single anyone out...every player is spot-on. My only negative comment is that they aren't going to do "Ghost of the Lost Skeleton". I would keep seeing them as long as Mr. Blamire and company want to make them, but alas, this will be the end.It is an absolute prerequisite to see the original film to even begin to get this movie, something the above reviewer obviously did not bother to do before writing a moronic "review" (or is it the ramblings of a feeble mind?). To accuse the producers of writing false reviews, given the cult status of these films, is nothing less than an outrage. Unfortunately, the IMDb rules do not ban stupidity.

First of all, any production company which unleashes its employees upon IMDb to write 10* reviews of its films deserves no compassion; Besides that, the film is just lame. I don't object to 50's spoof films, rubber suit monsters, fake black&white or cheesy dialogue, but all these need to - at some point - come together to make the film fun.And TLSRA is not fun. Not a minor fault, in a comedy. Lets refer to the FAQ section for help:Q: How unfunny is this film?The USFBoF has rated this film (N) - not fun at all (not suited for children or adults).Q: Is there any nudity in the film?Unfortunately, no.Q: Where can i buy the DVD to this film?Amazon, or any other major e-tailer, look for it under the title "Young Frankenstein".Q: Is this film comparable in any way to other spoofs, such as "300 Spartans" or "Tropic Thunder", that i might have enjoyed?No.Its really bad. 1/10 - but just to offset the 10* votes from the ballot stuffers: it really is just worth 4/10 (not a new Plan 9, sorry).
