Apr 27, 2007 - Huge fan of the Goon Show. HUGE! Z Men wasn't as funny. If anyone ever gets a chance to hear the affair of the Lone Banana, or The Phantom Head Shaver, you won't regret it. Thanks for the clip.

Jun 12, 2007 - A GOON SHOW MOVIE! when did they make this?
koalagirl5 Says:
Jun 12, 2007 - Yeah, or Emperor of the Universe--that one's probably my favourite (although the Lone Banana comes close) and their version of a 'Christmas Carol' and 'Robin Hood' are hilarious

Jan 7, 2008 - This is from Down Among the Z Men made in in 1951/1952. Check out Peter Sellers amazing impersonation of an American commander and Michael Bentine's Sherwood and Forrest routine

Mar 20, 2008 - This film used to be on laserdisc here in the USA, and that's how I got to see it. Don't get TOO excited over it, Goon Show enthusiasts.....it's not a true adaptation of the Goon Show with all it's stock characters, nor is it in that style. I remember it as more of a conventional British comedy of that era.

Apr 7, 2008 - 'The case of the muckinese battlehorn' is more of a Goon style movie than this, I think.

Apr 9, 2008 - I have this movie on DVD. My favorite bit is when Eccles (Spike M.) plays his trumpet so loudly that everyone wakes up!

Apr 27, 2008 - Spike had a bad time of it in the Army (RA) in N.Africa and Italy - Read his 4 books about it - hilarious and sad at the same time

May 5, 2008 - I just found this film on a DOLLAR DVD! It only says "Peter Sellars - Down Among The Z Men" on the cover, and when I put it on, the Title screens begins with "THE GOONS"! Calloo Callay! I'd never heard of it, but it's a cracking good view for fans of the Goon Show! (The DVD is released through "Movie Classics" Item 62319, at "991-c Lomas Santa Fe Drive Solana Beach, CA 92075" I hope writing that doesn't violate YouTube TOS.)

May 14, 2008 - he wrote 7 books on his time in the army. but yeah- they are great stuff ( techincally the seventh although in the collection is more about his work after the war) i reccomend them muchly. Cheerio

Jun 18, 2010 - this film is a bore. nothing like the goon show. total waste of money. spike didn't write it so it's not real goons. if you want to laugh, stick to the radio
