Featured review
The story concerns the efforts of Mike and his sidekick, SAM-104, an android(or robot, if you will) and their investigation of an experiment gone wrong on planet Xarbia. A group of scientists stationed on this planet are conducting experiments involving gene splicing in order to come up with a solution for a "galactic food crisis", that will supply the hungry masses(hey, it's a big galaxy out there!) Their solution? "Meet Subject 20..." Only Subject 20 is not in an inviting mood, as we are about to find out... What is the secret being kept from Mike by the scientists? What is Subject 20? How many times will Mike "get some"? (Couldn't resist!) To find out, see the film... If you are looking for cheese or horrible acting, see the latest films that take place in a galaxy far, far away. But if you are looking for a film where most of the actors seem to be having a great time with their tongues planted firmly in their cheeks(and Mike's planted in other places), not worrying about the pressures of a gazzillion dollar budget that still yields garbage, see this film. And yes, I do love this film. Enough to own multiple copies.... Did I mention that this film has two very sexy(June Chadwick and Dawn Dunlap) female scientists in it, hey, that ups the score right there! :)
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring a screening, Roger Corman actually smacked an audience member on the head for laughing at the film. When Roger left the theater, the guy he punched poured soda all over his head from the balcony.
- GoofsIn the first lab scene on planet Xarbia, when Mike Colby says "That thing is trouble, I can smell it", we can see a yellow microphone appearing from the inferior-left that appears again on the next scene from the same plane.
- Quotes
Tracy Baxter: You know what? It looks like you could really use the steam bath!
Mike Colby: Well, I had a hard night.
Tracy Baxter: So fair's fair. Get naked.
- Crazy creditsThe concluding credits roll over the vomit covered corpse of the monster.
- Alternate versionsThe German version (labelled "Mutant - das Grauen im All") recycles the space battle of the first five minutes, with a new language track. Tracy's absence is explained away by simply not waking her from cryo-sleep; SAM's return upon destruction at the end of the original film is not explained at all.
