Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Leapin' locusts! It's giant-insect time again, only this time the radiation from an agricultural experiment has turned Chicago into a breeding ground for gargantuan grasshoppers. It's all courtesy of '50s sci-fi schlockmeister Bert I. Gordon of The Amazing Colossal Man fame, and with Peter Graves as the nominal bug-busting hero, it's no wonder the guys at MST3K decided to roast this 1957 turkey on their popular TV show. But which is funnier, the movie itself or the skewering it gets from the snickering silhouettes of Joel, Crow, and Tom Servo? No matter, because you can have it both ways on this dubious DVD--plain or nutty! Some of the MST3K gags are cleverly twisted for trivia buffs (as when a cop approaches a wrecked car and Tom Servo says, "Uh... Miss Mansfield?" or when the sight of falling grasshoppers yields the ad-lib "Carry on our businesssssss..."). There are more hits than misses, and the movie's every bit as awful... er, great... as it sounds! --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating: - 4 stars combined for the DVD & movieThis is a fun B movie if you like lower budget monster movies. A 100% popcorn movie. For the most part the Bert I Gordon effects are pretty good at the beginning until the end. Peter Graves is the reason the grasshoppers are huge. The DVD is widescreen and its a great print. And it has bonus features. A great deal of care for the Grasshopper movie ! It is not the best movie out there, but it holds up on its own along with other Mr BIG movies and it is very entertaining. 1950s at its finest... Rating: - So This Is How It Ends, Eh?The Beginning Of The End shows us the terrifying scenario of what could happen if Illinois were to come under attack by an army of giant grasshoppers(it's a fear I've struggled with for years). In the film, entomologist Peter "Have you ever seen a grown man naked?" Graves and his deaf/mute botanist partner have succeeded in using radiation to grow large fruits and vegetables. The idea is to end world hunger, but who wants to eat radioactive fruit? Grasshoppers eat the food, grow enormous and destroy ... Read More Rating: - The Chicago lake effect in actionThe Illinois town of Ludlow (which mysteriously looks like Griffith Park, CA) is wiped off the map. International reporter Audrey Aimes (Peggie Castle) just happened to be passing by on a different assignment. She has a nose for news and when you run into a road block of several military vehicles and no explanation, you may suspect something is up. While investigating that something that of course she intuitively knows is related to radioactivity, she is naturally stonewalled by the great Sci-Fi ... Read More Rating:  - 1950's Sci-Fi ClasicThis movie arrived just as it was described. The service was great, I would definaetly use this vendor again without hesitation. Rating: - Beginning of the EndThis movie is a must for any 1950's science fiction fan. Interesting that the female lead starts out as a strong character but when Peter Graves enters the scene she takes a back seat. Disappointing ending as far as the "special" effects.
