![]() ![]() There are other Roger Corman films which I haven't got yet, but am still investigating (I haven't even seen Death Race 2000), but this was a good place to start. Put it all together, with an intergalactic troubleshooter, and you have an eighties classic that again, has stood the test of time, and could attract an even bigger audience now who might appreciate these things for what they were. This film however is a brilliant example of low budget eighties sci fi horror, lots of blood, special effects done cheaply and economically with a bit of imagination, plenty of nudity from two blonde female stars (including June Chadwick of V The Series) and of course, a deadly alien creature that is the result of an experiment in space gone awry. A mate told me that with Roger Corman films, there are scenes in there what you may recognise from other films, but that is the way he saved money and how he worked. I am a bit of a collector of these old films and have some classic rare ones from the eighties and nineties too, but having seen this featured on a youtube video, it was the way I found it, and I couldn't believe I didn't know about it. This is a Roger Corman classic from the eighties, (a producer who is legendarily prolific), which I had absolutely no clue about, and I find that astonishing. A great fun gore film and a definite **** rating. So if you want a ‘Buck Rogers’ with a more ‘grown-up’ approach, plenty of gore and some gruesome deaths, then this could be good for you. Not to be outdone, Barbara sheds her clothes and seduces Mike as soon as he arrives. The electronic soundtrack has a seductive pull to it and Tracey spends much of her time showing what great lungs she has by screaming -and running naked through the corridors -repeatedly. Sure it’s not the best out there and is often unintentionally funny but it is hugely entertaining and shows what can be achieved on a limited budget. It was shot in about 20 days on less than $1 million and is a mix of Star Wars and Alien filmed in a ‘Buck Rogers’ and ‘V’ style. The staff of the station includes the head of research, Gordon Hauser, his assistant Barbara Glaser, lab assistant Tracy Baxter, the station head of security and the chief of bacteriology. Upon arrival he learns that an experimental life-form –subject 20, has been created and has now escaped, wreaking havoc. Īs the titles roll we encounter professional trouble-shooter Mike Colby (Jesse Vint), who is being awakened by his robot assistant SAM-104 (Don Olivera), They immediately come under attack in a typical ‘Buck Rogers in the 25th century’ manner, and surviving the attack, Mike is ordered to investigate a problem at a research station. This 1982 sci-fi/horror chiller opens to a main menu offering play, scene selection, set up, extras and trailershow. Ignoring the cover this actually plays in English in set-up.
