Lines: 34 From: Steve Dennett All this talk about bad SF films has reminded me of three films I saw (and thankfully, quickly forgot.) Two of them I can't remember the titles for, but if anyone else saw them, perhaps they'll remember. 1. "The Final Programme", based on one of Michael Moorcock's Jerry Cornelius books. Civilization is breaking down; the only way to save it is for Jerry to evolve into homo sapien's successor. He does by entering a machine which fuses him with a woman into a hermaphroditic creature that resembles a cave-person in drag. 2. "Triad(???)", was a big budget film, starring (I believe) Paul Neuman. Set in a future ice age, people were having trouble breeding and were plagued by random violence. Neuman was some sort of hunter/trapper. Also, there were lots of Rottweiler dogs running around in the snow. Weird and very boring. 3. Title Unremembered - This one came out about the same time as "Battle Beyond the Stars." It was sort of an ALIEN ripoff; a space ship lands on a planet to retrive a crystal (or something). The crew must make there way into a huge pyramid/mountain. In the caverns they meet their worst fears come alive (i.e., the woman who has claustrophobia is crushed in a palpitating cavern). Worst scene: another of the women is killed by her worst fear; she is raped by a giant snail (I kid you not) that slimes off her clothes (for a flash of bare flesh to wake the audience), and dies moaning. Blech! Steve Dennett (hooked on awful sf films) -------
