Line 2:
This 1965 film cashed in on the craze of Dalekmania by adapting the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S1 E2 The Daleks|The Daleks]]" into a cinema spectacle. It featured the Daleks - IN COLOUR! - battling against [[Peter Cushing]] as Dr Who.
 
It was followed a year later by ''[[Daleks Invasion Earth: 2150 AD (Film)A.D.|Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 AD]]''.
 
=== Tropes used in this film: ===
Line 12:
** Susan is a little girl of about twelve.
** Dr. Who's ship is known as ''TARDIS'' (note the lack of the definite article).
** ''TARDIS'' is still a police box that is [[Bigger Onon the Inside]] (somehow), but its interior consists of only one room, and it's built very haphazardly. There's no hexagonal console, time rotor, or roundels--there are many random buttons, wires, and switches, and a single lever is all that controls the space/time travel mechanism. Also, no [[Most Wonderful Sound|vworp noise]].
* [[Canon Immigrant]]/[[Development Gag]]: The Daleks in this film were supposed to have flamethrowers, which were scrapped for the infamous fog cannons. However, flamethrowers were included with the Daleks in regular canon, in "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S3 E4 The Daleks Master Plan|The Daleks' Master Plan]]."
* [[Compressed Adaptation]]: From seven 25-minute episodes (175 minutes total) to one 79-minute film.
