Bristol Bad Film Club: Zone Troopers

Director
Danny Bilson
Certificate
15
Running Time
85 mins

It’s 1944, and a bunch of American GIs are trapped behind enemy lines in Italy, where they stumble upon a Martian rocket ship. The pilot is dead, but a space alien passenger is on the loose. Even Adolf Hitler turns up for the ensuing romp.

Reuniting many of the cast and crew of Trancers, this 1985 aliens vs Nazis smackdown isn’t quite as tooth-grindingly awful as most Bristol Bad Film Club offerings. Indeed, it’s rather good fun, in a cheesy, low-budget kinda way and has become such a cult item that it was recently remastered for blu-ray release in the US. Profits from this screening go to the Teenage Cancer Trust. Advance tickets are available here, price £5.
