If you haven't seen this movie, it's fantastic!

The storyline is wonderful and the special effects are decades ahead of their time. It's really hard to believe that it was made in 1956, until you see how young the late, great Leslie Nielsen is in it (he actually played a non-comedic role)!

That said...
Amazon has the Blu-Ray version (with all the same extras) for only $7.99... free shipping with Prime (maybe the $25 order free deal, not sure).

Also... NO, the robot is not "B9" from Lost In Space, this one is considerably more impressive and they actually share little in common (a lot of people confuse them, and I'll never understand why).
This robot character was used in many, many movies and TV series after this movie was made, but was made for this movie. I believe it was at the time the most expensive movie prop ever made (this is not a "'50s B-movie", it was very high budget for its time).

Oh - I forgot to mention above (and it won't fit now)... the one thing this has that the Blu-Ray I linked to doesn't is the toy.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
