Were these actors in Invaders from Mars 1953 or 1986?

Original? Or remake?!

 20th Century Fox/The Cannon Group, Inc.

When people deride remakes, they're usually not thinking of Invaders from Mars 1986. While many reboots are money-grabbing cash-ins meant to drain a few more dollars out of a beloved property, this one actually had a real Master of Horror at the helm. Texas Chain Saw Massacre director Tobe Hooper is behind the lens for Invaders '86, and the proof is in the pudding.

Whether you're a fan of the original or a fanatic for the more recent edition, this quiz is for you! We'll name an actor, and you tell us which version they're in.

Good luck, and be sure to share your score in the comments section below!

Fred Rutherford (Richard Deacon) was also in the movie. He plays an M.P. (uncredited).
And in all matters "Invaders," he INSISTED on speaking with "The Lord of The Manor."

10/10. !953s version is a favorite among 50s sci fi. Seen it a million times.

I thought the Martians in the remake looked too cartoony.

In the '53 version how about that choir music when someone would be walking out to the sands and get swallowed up. That cracks me up every time. Kinda like in "The Omen".
