I wouldn’t want to be stuck with Torgo, Lobo, Eegah, or Heathcliff( from WW of Batwoman) that might get creepy real fast. If I was then I would hope Gamera would come and pick me up real fast. I wouldn’t mind being stuck with Bevery Garland either :), or Lupita she’s cute and would make me smile.
I choose Mike “Touch” Connors from Swamp Diamonds – hanging out with Mannix would be cool.
Wanda Sakmussen (Voice be damned, she has great determination to get things done and well, you know…)
Not stranded: boy, there’s a bunch. Vi from Tormented (how would you like to be stuck on an island with someone contatntly telling you “Tom Stewart killed me, Tom Stewart killed me.”)
The “Hi-Keeba” guy from “Women of the Prehistoric Planet.”
Any of the main heroes from “Jungle Goddess.”
I don’t think there is any character I would want to be stuck and not stuck with. I haven’t found one that’s the least bit likeable. I take back the not stuck part. I would not want to be stuck on a desert island with Joe Don Baker. He’d eat all the food.
Sheriff Alan Hale, Jr. from Giant Spider Invasion. Come on. A deserted island? This calls for the skipper! er, I mean sheriff.
Well this one is easy- I’d be “stuck” with either Babs (we’d practice plays from her days as a Detroit Lion), or, Jane Dobson- we’d simulate S&M days at the field museum together. Who not to be stuck with- well- Joe Don, especially on Malta, or, the creepy John Steinbeck guy from Bloodlust. Don’t think I’d want a crossbow arrow in me.
Mamie Van Doren form “Girls Town”…..GIGANTOR!!!!!
And Tony from “The Beatniks” because I hate his singing and no one is going to tell me to shut up!
Iola from Hercules and Hercules Unchained. She sure knows how to dress!
@7, I choose Iola, Sylvia Cosina(Sp?), for who I would want to be on a deserted Isle with and forgot the flip side, who not…
I would HATE to be stuck with John Agar! His insufferable observations, arrogence and smugness would surely lead to either a murder or a suicide.
I would probably pick the shapely witch gal from The Undead, (she was also in Viking Women vs. the Sea Serpent), she could use her magic and whip us up some grub. The not list is nearly endless, but I guess I would pick the Incredible Melting Man because that is really gross, and soon you’d be alone again!
The Amazing Colossal Man for someone to be stuck with. :D
As for someone NOT to be stuck with….. that kid Mikey from Teenage Strangler.
Person to be stranded with: Ann-Margret in KITTEN WITH A WHIP.
Person to NOT be stranded with: Ann-Margret in KITTEN WITH A WHIP (when you really think about it).
I have two choices for characters I wouldn’t mind being stuck with. There’s Mr. Krasker, from The Dead Talk Back, who seems like he’d be an interesting companion with a lot to say. I wouldn’t mind Bailey Chastain (Red Zone Cuba), either…apparently a decent guy (and nice-looking too, which is a bonus).
There’s no other character I can think of offhand that I could really stand, but the only one that I definitely wouldn’t want to be stuck with would be Adam Chance. The H.A.R.M. agent is far too smug; I’d have to hurt him before the end of the day. Plus, he’d insist on wearing that stupid sweater in the tropical heat and it would get unpleasant really fast.
I would want to be with Silver (Mamie Van Doren) from Girls Town (and she could bring her kid sister, too)–because then she would be able to teach me all that cool, hep-cat talk. ;-)
I WOULDN’T want to be with the Icky Elf from Girl with Gold Boots.
Well, I wouldn’t mind hanging out with Griswold from Killer Shrews. I mean, who doesn’t like Dixieland Jazz? I’d also take the thirty something Teenage Caveman anytime. Not much of a talker but he does knows all the best places to hunt. (And yes, I’m a shameless Man From Uncle fan girl.)
Who would I not want to be stranded with? That is a long list. Just off the top of my head, I’d take a pass on Eegah, the Paper Chase Guy, Droppo or any of the comedy relief sidekicks for that matter. I’d also skip the icky Sweater Dress Guy from Eye Creatures, the Brute Man and of course, Mitchell.
I would love to be on a desert isle with Valeria from Robot Holocaust. So what if I couldn’t understand anything she said!
I would not want to be stuck with Juanito from Black Scorpion. He is such a kiss up.
I’d like to be Stranded with: Claire Anderson. :inlove: (Beverly Garland,It Conquered the World)
I’d least like to be stranded with: mitcHELL!!!! :reallypissed: (Joe Don Baker :pizza: :liquor: , Mitchell)
If I was being practical, I’d want to be stuck with Thong..er, Dong from Cave Dwellers. His fish-catching abilities might come in handy. But instead I’m just gonna go with Yvette Vickers from the Giant Leaches! Oh Liz Baby!
For who I’d least like to be stuck with, I think I’d have to pick either Mikey from Teenage Strangler, or Mr. B Natural. (shudder)
I would like to be stuck with the “native girl” whos’ dad died. Missionary teach english and know how live on island (no prepositions).
I would not want to be stuck with Banjo. That guy is just creepy or, come to think of it, the land lady in “Crawling Hand”. That piece has a hair trigger.
Might be a long time, but have to go with Babs (Spider
Island. No wait, for a combination protection and recreation
Rose Hood (Gunslinger)—hey, what if there are Giant Spiders
on the island.
Definitely not Joe Don Baker and/or Torgo, especially if they
began vying for the attentions of a visiting prostitute (by the second
season all kinds of visitors would no doubt be dropping in weekly).
Janet Munroe, the luscious Anne Pilgrim from The Crawling Eye, could be my guest on a deserted island any day. She’s look good in a bikini, and she can read my mind!
As for someone I wouldn’t want, that’s easy, Forrest Tucker, same movie.
Getting stuck with Alison Hayes (Viking Women…, The Undead) could be very nice.
Trying to decide who’s the least pleasant is a bit tougher. All the choices listed here fit the bill.
Ooh! I wouldn’t mind being stuck with the Del-Aires from Horror at Party Beach. They rock!
Conversely, I would NOT wish to be stuck with the horrible jazz combo from The Dead Talk Back! Toot to toot toot…
1) Joyce Meadows as Carrie in “The Girl in Lovers’ Lane”.
2) Jimmy Clem as Old Man Crenshaw from “Boggy Greek 2”
I’d-a like to be stranded with Tundra from SAMSON VS. THE VAMPIRE WOMEN. Grrrrrr! But I’d guess there’d have to be plenty of shade. (best answer to this one so far: #10.)
Least like to be stranded with: The Creeping Terror
(LOL Gulliver {#12})
I’m one who’d want to be stuck with Babs.
As for not: Arch Hall Jr. of course.
My first instinct was to choose an alpha-male with great upper-body strength to help me survive on the island. Then I thought about trying to have a conversation with Flank Beefsteak. So I think I’d go with Ben Murphy from Riding With Death. We could just get mellow together. 8-)
Oh, and I’d least like to be stranded with Mitchell. Too much gas for one island.
Fantastic question.
Would want to be stuck with: Mitchell! Just kidding. Gotta be Mamie.
Would not want to be stuck with: Any male character from Manos…but, Torgo would seem to lead the pack. Wouldn’t be thrilled with Ortega, the thing in the closet in The Brain That Wouldn’t Die or the horny nerd from Hobgoblins.
I’d choose the Swedish girlfriend from “The Crawling Hand.” She seems so plucky I don’t think she’d ever get down about being trapped on a desert island.
I’d say, given the choice, get stranded with Hercules or My Cheesesteak or at least Sinbad (He’s Not Sinbad) from either the Italian Muscle or the Ruso-Finnish Co-Production films. I’m thinking practicality here. I would not spend my days fantasizing about doing Something with them, but they are definitely people who’ll know how to either construct a tolerably pleasant living arrangement on the isle or find a way to get back to civilization, possibly through an interlude of spastic dancing before the gods.
Least want: Jim Backus and the American Front Survivalists from Angel’s Revenge. As noted, they couldn’t survive a grape embargo, and in their pathetic attempts to find any field, however trivial, in which they can show even the slightest resemblance to anything faintly like competence they’ll be annoying and whiny and will make my teeth ache and my mouth will taste like metal.
I’d like to be stranded on a deserted island with Linda from “Women of the Prehistoric Planet”. :devil: As for not: Dr Jenny Langer from “Giant Spider Invasion”. I couldn’t take hearing “VAAAAAAANNNNCCCCCCCCCE!” or, in my case, “BOB!” all day!
Most: The Fire Maidens… all of them or maybe the near-blind gym owner in Daddy-O. We could use the lenses of his glasses to start fires.
Least: Hercules. You would think he would be good for question #1 but he would probably lay around all day and sleep and expect me to give him massages. Ugh!
If I were stuck on a desert island with someone, I’d like that person to be really good at building things out of nothing, so I’d have to go with Ilmarinen from The Day The Earth Froze. After all, he could make us a Sampo! The creepy kid from the “Industrial Arts” short would be a distant second choice.
I think I’d most like to be stranded with the entire cast of Catalina Caper. Oh, the Scuba Parties we’d have!
I’d least like to be stranded with the entire cast of Killer Shrews. Dull people, plus…Killer Shrews.
1) For pervy reasons – Jessica from Thing that Couldn’t Die
For practical reasons – Round grandpa from Creeping Terror. He wouldn’t last long, and I’d last a long time if I needed to go all Bolivian soccer team on him.
2) The sweater dress guy. I’d rather starve than catch whatever disease he’d likely share with me.
Oh, this is an easy one for me. I’ve been on love with Abby Dalton since I was a kid, and since she “starred” in “Viking Women and the Sea Serpent”, she qualifies. K-K-K-Kim Catrell wouldn’t be bad either.
Who NOT to hang out with? The greasy shiny faced drunk Dad from Girl in Gold Boots comes to mind. Or Sidney Chillis from Daddy-O – he’d eat everything in sight and ask me for a butter rub-down. Ick!
I’d like to be stuck with Thep Umaman because he could just fly me right the hell off the island.
I wouldn’t want to be stuck with Mike from “Manos” because he’d figure out a way to bone up every attempt we made to leave and it’d somehow be my fault.
Assuming a Tarzan-Jane relationship, I would be ecstaticly happy with Eva from “Diabolik” (she was also in “Secret Agent Super Dragon”), Maria from “Angels’ Revenge” (she was the one jumping on the trampoline in the parking lot), or Creepy Girl from “Catalina Caper”. Cabbage Patch Elvis @18 already claimed Liz from “Attack of the Giant Leeches”.
Who would I not want? The Leech Woman, because she would be chasing me all the time trying to poke my pineal. Rommel from “Sidehackers”, because he wears a stupid hat and there would probably be too much food that would burn his gut. Finally, Mafushka from “Jack Frost”: Spoiled, lazy, abusive- yuk!
I know this is off the track, but last night I watched “Wild Guitar” from my free on-demand movies, and if Rifftrax or Cinematic Titanic haven’t done it yet, they should. It features Arch Hall Jr. and his dad (including the full length version of “Vicki” from “Eegah!”- yup, they used the exact same song twice), and Cash Flagg (better known to us as auteur Ray Dennis Steckler of “The Incredibly Strange Creatures…”). Wow, what a stinker! Anyway, thanks for reading!
I’ll second Alison Hayes (and by “second”, I mean, heh heh…you know, stuttering and stammering and wetting myself).
I absolutely would NOT want to be stuck on an island (or parallel universe) with Watney Smith (Outlaw). Cabot!
Hmmm, who would be good to be stuck on an island with…I’m leaning towards tawny Talena from Outlaw, or maybe the samurai girl from Angel’s Revenge, the sword might come in handy, as a bonus. Beverly Garland seems almost too obvious a choice.
Who not to be stuck with? Dr. Lombardo from The She Creature might be the worst choice.
Would-Kathy from Alien from LA. I’d get used to the voice fast after many hours of sex on the beach waiting to be rescued. Or just perverted pleasure until we starved to death. Whoever died first could be eaten by the other so I’m considering the practical too. And I hope she would be first! I’ll bet Kathy would be delicious in a wild berry sauce!
Wouldn’t-Incredible Melting Man. I hate sticky food!
I’d have to go with Melissa from The Touch Of Satan for…um, physical reasons. We’d have lots of time, so the pauses really wouldn’t be an issue.
As far as simple friendship goes, I’d have to second Griswold. He just seems like a cool guy. Maybe he could live on the other side of the island and we’d just drop by.
And who wouldn’t I want to hang out with? Geez, where do I begin. The entire casts of Manos and Wild World Of Batwoman, for starters.
I’d love to be stranded with the girls from ‘Horrors Of Spiders Island’ (for obvious reasons). :inlove: Just no spiders and plenty of food and water this time.
I would not want to be stranded with Sid ‘Little Monkey Boy’ Melton. After a couple days of him talking to his parachute I would be having Melton chops cooking on the fire.
Nobody doesn’t want to get stranded with Coleman Francis? Maybe he’s not as bad as some, but he’d be a dull conversationalist and every now and again he’d want to strangle you or shove your face in his crotch for no reason.
I’d like to be on an island with Queen Samara from Hercules Against the Moon Men. I would not want to be on an island with Trumpy!
I would not want to be stranded with Dropo. After about 20 minutes I would probably have to kill him.
I would like to be stuck with: Mila from Cave Dwellers.
I would not like to be stuck with: Griffin from Red Zone Cuba.
For the person I would not mind being stranded with…I would have to say Beverly Garland.
For the person I would not WANT to be stranded with…anyone else.
strand me with natalie(?) from werewilf. i’d spend lots of time figuring out her “accent”. or the girl from teenagers from outer space.
wouldn’t want to be stranded with carlo lombardi or john agar or sid melton, joe don, the kid from final sacrifice(although rowsdower might be kicks for a while). the list for this could go on and on.
