IMDB rating: 6.20 Plot: Dr. Russell Marvin heads up Operation Skyhook, which is tasked with sending rockets into the upper atmosphere to probe for future space flights. Unfortunately, all the rockets are somehow disappearing. While investigating this strange occurrence, Russell and his new wife Carol are abducted by a flying saucer. The aliens demand to meet with certain people in order to negotiate… but it was a trick, and the Martains only wanted to kill them. The invasion has begun and if Russell and Carol can’t find a way to stop these creatures and get past their defenses, it may be the end of the human race. |

There is a lot of different types of scenery-both man made construction, as well as nature.
Very famous, well known city.
Lot’s of people to play extras.
Cheap (relatively) to film there.
All four seasons.

One of the most well known cities in the world. Also because it’s my home and I directed about 3/4 of those movies.

A friend of mine from New York once said that it was because it doesn’t cost very much money to film there. Like 250,000 dollars a day. He could have been messing with me, but I asked him that question and that’s what he told me.

Because it is the city for all races. And besides, everyone is almost free to do anything.

Probably because it’s the most well known city in the us. And Also cause it’s entertaining to see new york.

i think it’s because, historically, NEW YORK CITY is what people from other countries usually associate with when they think of the United States…
and, how it’s practically a city made up of people from other countries, religions, and other walks of life, any disaster set in that city gets a kindred type of reaction from a lot of people around the world…
subconsciencely (?), it’s like that disaster, be it Godzilla or aliens, is attacking "the world" and not just "an american city"…
