OK - so it's not the "real" Perry Rhodan we Perry Rhodan fans have come to know and love even in the US.
But remember, this movie was made in the mid sixties and SFX were not the greatest for an overseas production at that time.
I thought the man playing "Perry" was fairly good. I thought the woman playing Thora looked great! I admit the story was heavily changed. Maybe someday we can have a true Perry Rhodan movie.
I'd like to see Mystery Science Theater 3000 take a look at this one, but it appears to be unavailable on either VHS or DVD. Who has the rights to VHS/DVD production?
By the Way, it also had a release title here in the US as "SOS From Outer Space".

In the 1960s, the Italians made some incredibly kooky sci-fi/fantasy films. They're filled with wonderfully over the top sets, groovy 60s tunes and a sensibility that is pure camp. Films like "Danger Diabolik" and "Mission Stardust" are examples of this campy and silly style of movies that we'll never experience again.
When this sci-fi movie starts, some astronauts discover a ship on the moon--and it ain't one of ours. A couple aliens are aboard and they welcome the humans...well, one welcomes them. The other is an inexplicably angry and disdainful hot lady--which ultimately means it'll take the love of one of our sexy he-man heroes to tame her!
So why (other than for the woman to score) did these two come to the moon and approach our astronauts? It seems that one of them is dying and needs medical help. So far, this is a really cool movie with kitschy sets and music and I enjoyed it. Unfortunately, when they all went to Earth things slowed down...a lot. In fact, it all became tedious as wave after wave of ultra-stupid and greedy men kept attacking the alien ship! With the loss of momentum, the film stopped being fun after a while. As a result, I only mildly recommend it.

Not bad for a movie made 1967 (keep in mind that this was the same time period as the original Star Trek series, whose first season was 1966). Also since the movie was originally filmed in German you'll have to forgive the dubbing which make it look like one of those bad Chinese Kung Fu movies thats been dubbed into English. Although credited with the screenplay I find it hard to believe that Kurt Vogelmann (who wrote some of the Perry Rhodan books) had much in the way to do with the movie. The plot shares some major details of the first two or three Perry Rhodan books, which were more like short stories than full fledged books but takes a few detours to make it fit into a single movie. If you're a fan of the books this is worth a look.
A team of astronauts : Capt. Flipper (Daniel Martín), Captain Bull (Luís Dávila), Dr. Manoli (Joachim Hansen) led by Maj. Perry Rhodan (Lang Jeffries) is sent to the moon to rescue an alien who is seeking help to save her dying race. They are attacked by a force of robots and discover that enemy spies are out to kill the alien. On the moon they meet Thora (Essy Persson) and Kress (John Karlsen) are superior beings from another planet who find themselves marooned and ill. A U. S. space mission lead by Major Perry Rodan rescues the couple. Kress is suffering from an unknown ailment, and a medical examination reveals he has leukemia. The rescue team secretly brings the ailing alien to an African physician who specializes in blood disorders. Soon word gets around about the aliens, causing a full-scale search for the rescue team and the two space cadets. 2076 AD · Planet Against Planet in a Bionic Battle for Space !.2076 AD · Year of the Robot Revolution !. Come Along on a Fantastic Space Adventure... Meet the Beings from Another Planet and their Miraculous Weapons!.The science fiction film that staggers the imagination!
Perry Rhodan's fame is due to trivial science fiction literature, being an extremely successful German science-fiction literature (and audio book) series. There're European Perry Rhodan movies, a Japanese film and the "Sandmännchen" television series. From 1961 onwards, the astronaut set out to conquer foreign galaxies in various printed products as paperbacks, comics, etc. His futuristic journeys reflect a time in which only weapons and robots undergo their further development and ultimately function as indispensable tools to advance conquest and imperialism.
Ordinary 60's Sci-Fi/Euro-spy movie with usual components : aircrafts, pursuits , crashes , struggles , chases , fantastic artifacts, simple helicopters: the popular Bell 47G , international conspiracy , and explosive women . It borrows heavily from the 60's Italian Science Fiction from directors Antonio Margheriti, Alfonso Brescia in films as Space man, The war of the planets, Cosmos: War of the Planets, Battle of the Stars, and OO7 series that at the time starred Sean Connery , such as : Dr No, From Russia with love , Thunderball, and Goldfinger . It has some flaws and gaps , as it does tend to get a bit old , including repetitive nature of some scenes, but it has big fun, so it cares. Lang Jeffries gives a passable acting as a brave astronaut who takes on an criminal organization commanded by Pinkas Braun. Lang has an easy going air about him that makes him great to see. He plays a two-fisted astronaut, though he was usually an international agent or playing Peplums or Spaghetti westerns. Lang was a Canadian actor who emigrated to Italy to get fame and fortune , he married Rhonda Fleming , and obtaining success in Spaghetti Western : Requiem for the Gringo ; Eurospy : Agente X 1-7 operazione Oceano, Z7 Operation Rembrandt ...4 ..3 ..2 ..1 ...morte , The Becket case and Peplum : Alone Against Rome , Fire over Rome, Sword of the empire , Revolt of the Slaves . In fact , according to the "Revolt of the Slaves" pressbook, Jeffries served in the U. S. Army during the Korean War and was one of only three survivors out of 177 soldiers in his unit who landed at Inchon in the fall of 1951. Co-stars the gorgeous and mysterious Eurotrash starlett Essy Persson, who at the time starred some erotic films . Along with other ordinary secondaries , usuals in Euro-spy , thriller , Spaghetti and Peplum , such as : the Spanish ones Daniel Martín, Luís Dávila and Italians Gianni Rizzo, Tom Felleghy, John Bartha and Germans: Pinkas Braun, Joachim Hansen.
It displays a thrilling score by Antón Garcia Abril, as well as atmospheric cinematography from Manuel Merino and Riccardo Pallottini, being really necessary a perfect remastering because de film copy is washed out. The pic was written by Spaghetti expert Sergio Donati and director himseld; being professionally realized by Primo Zeglio . This is one of the uncountable stories that the Italian producer pioneers were joined by Spanish producers , who established around Rome, Madrid or Canary Islands, especially to shoot the exteriors , a new stable center for filming Euro-spy movies, action, fantasy or Spaghetti Westerns. Primo was married to Paola Barbara who usually plays his films in secondary roles . He was a good professional , a craftsman who wrote and directed all kind of genres as Adventure : "Seven Seas to Calais" , ¨Genoneva De Bravante¨ , "Revenge of the Pirates", "Son of the Red Corsair" ¨, ¨Captain Ghost¨, ¨Morgan the pirate¨ , Sci-Fi : "Mission Stardust" , Peplum : "I Am Semiramis" , ¨Nero and Messalina¨ , ¨Rosmunda e Alboino¨ and Spaghetti : ""The Relentless Four¨, "Texas Ranger" and this ¨Winchester One of One Thousand¨ also titled ¨Winchester Justice¨. ...4 ..3 ..2 ..1 ...morte (1967) Rating: 5/10.

I only watched the dubbed version so we do not know what they are saying. I watched "Mission Stardust" released in the United States on November 1968. Evidently the original Italian title is "...4 ..3 ..2 ..1 ...morte" released in Italy
August 4, 1967.
As you can tell from the start that this movie was hokey even for 1966. The opening credits are like a bad Italian LSD trip. On the moon, the vehicle makes a tweeting sound in zero atmospheres. (now we know that sound can travel through nothing).
The film I watched had a lot of aging glitches and spots. I would not mention it but this distracts from the story.
There are good guys, bad guys, robots, big guns, diamonds, and treachery.
There may even be hanky-panky.
This may be good for what's alien you.
