I remembered seeing a clip of this movie on an old Saturday morning program called "Kids Are People, Too". Seeing a tomato chase Mason Dixon on a sidewalk before my very eyes was far too unbelievable, and I giggled out in thinking it was the most downright hilarious thing mankind has ever seen! I hadn't even noticed that the film existed at all! That was until almost a decade later when I finally got to see it on local TV, and I began to realize that THIS FILM WAS FOR REAL!!! Possibly NO other motion picture in history has managed to make clever strangeness and ridicule like "Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes"! A film like this can be so BAD, that it's actually GOOD! However, I felt that this could have been another "audience participation" outing just like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" because it can be seen millions of times over. With some occasional musical numbers and plenty of scenes to be addicted to, this would have had a humongous impact on millions of viewers to keep going to the movie theater over and over to see this fun picture. "Killer Tomatoes" plays like a lengthy national anthem, worthy of my time and money! Now, if only I can try to educate millions on how to enjoy watching low-budget movies without getting totally embarrassed! After all, any unknown movie worth $10,000 can still be worthy!

From start to finish, I laughed real hard throughout the whole movie. It's amazing that "The Groove Tube" is possibly the granddaddy, yet raunchiest, of all comedic skit movies.This is the way I enjoy watching TV without being bored at flipping channels only to suffer from insomnia! For 73 minutes, the weird, strange humor never stops! Just think of how all this nonsense laughing can help you enjoy life easier! It's way, WAY better than Comedy Central or any prime time show! Do yourself a favor and trash all those soft, lame romantic comedy movies into the wastebasket! Better yet, tell your box office manager you want "The Groove Tube" back on the big screen!

I enjoy movies like Savage Weekend, and I'm saying this because it's best enjoyed in all its late-night glory. It's also because I'm glued to the addiction of low-budget movies while staying away from our cultural mainstream. As a horror film, it's ridiculously lame and will turn away the most die-hard horror fanatics. As a simple little exploitation film, it's just like spending the night at the local drive-in, eating stale popcorn and kissin' the girls until the final curtain. That was exactly what I experienced in my own living space watching this, as well as lots of other movies of this kind of quality. I don't care if we all "crave" over today's mindfully modern horror movies like Scream, but then again, Savage Weekend proves that there's much more than just a wimpy 70s show, and that equals to good mindless fun!

I can tell this tried to mimic some of those vintage B-movies of the 50s, so I realized how scary it would be if it was filmed in the dark. Sad to say, but that's really the painful downfall of this movie. It does have an interesting story, but the fun is missing!

I'm tired of everybody talking about the same, familiar old slasher movies they've seen before! That's why thrillingly, scary movies like "Madman" get seriously overlooked in the abyss of thousands of unpopular horror films. It looks violent enough to make me watch this a hundred times over, and even if I was only twelve years old, I'd still want to see it again and again! It's dark, it's predictable, it's scary, but overall it's got a clever point.

Sure, it's a little silly, but the film stands out far beyond other movies of the age-old "juvenile delinquent" genre. Don't even think about sordid campiness here, because this is the real thing! It is dramatically interesting, and there's enough crude action to cause mass hysteria.. Although it now pales by comparison of today's films on a higher standard, the message on teenage violence still delivers to this day. As it is, the movie remains fun and entertaining.

My first impression of this drive-in schlock horror film was that it's quite simply, in two words: LOW BUDGET!!! You don't need to be a fan of modern day, more mainstream big-budget movies like Scream just to be underappreciated by bad films like this one, which unfortunately gets forgotten to this day. Here's what it's all about: A teenage girl named Susan gets real angry over guys tearing up the local mortuary where she has a collection of real, live tarantulas. She then gets even, and starts releasing her own kind of terror , TARANTULAS! It's highly amazing that people get killed by these strange creepy crawlers in this film, and for some unknown reasons. Only the last 15 minutes has nothing to do with the dark and shivering, yet maybe silly, nature of this film. B-movie lovers and movie seekers will enjoy this, but if you're in the normal world like many, steer clear. It's fun. it's silly, it's low budget, and it's so bad it's good! You might want to trash Scream for this one!

Never mind calling it a WEIRD film! It's a classic horror tale on drugs! This is certainly the finest example of no-budget filmmaking I've witnessed , as plenty of useless, senseless, but violent kung-fu fighting makes for a real good time! That's most of the fun I had watching this, a movie that knows no bounds when it comes to weirdness: awful acting, bad scripting, and virtually no plot and storyline. It's actually pretty good, that is if you've grown a full appetite of lost and forgotten bad films that millions are missing today.

It's interesting to note that Ross Hagen, a man who starred in numerous trashy films in his infamous career, did the directing. The film's kinda sleazy in a few parts, and the theme song is hilarious, but the violent scenes should have been the main attraction here, and unfortunately there's little of it. John Saxon talks through the whole picture like I'm waiting for some blood to fly. The best parts I liked about The Glove are the beginning, the middle, and the end. It's O.K. as long as cheap thrills are your cup of tea. Don't let the film's ad mat entice you!

It's fun to see cars get stolen and smashed throughout the movie, even the 40-minute conclusion up to the film's surprise ending. There really hasn't been a truly unique car-smashing movie like this ever since it was first released. This one rates a 10 on the fun scale!

I have no idea as to how I found a video copy of this real tough to find "blaxploitation" picture, but it was highly involving for its time, and it appeared to have set the stage for further movies based on the genre, like Super Fly and Shaft. This one's on a more "educational" level as opposed to pure movie theater entertainment, but it fairly resembles some of today's urban dramas. It's a rare find!
