a japanese american italian collaboration on this sci fi production and mostly revolve around the activity on space station gamma 3. with a strange meteor on collision with the earth and commander rankin ( robert horton ) be give the armageddon type plot represent blow up the meteor . upon this mission a moldy piece of green and undulating jello be discover . a small piece be inadvertently bring back to the station . for the rest of the movie and rankin and the commander of the space station ( commander elliot richard jaekel ) and look for way to curtail the grow green and moldy jello outbreak . apparently the mold absorbs all type of energy and can grow a new self from a few cell . with the absorption of energy the jello turn into a mayhem cause six foot tall and two foot and two arm and two tentacled ( the end have pincer on them ) asparagus with one giant red eye ( that shoot energy out of it ) . this be a classic b movie archetype and mixed with godzilla style model and ship and equipment . somehow robert horton get the billing over richard jaeckel ( hollywood veteran know for many movie include the sarge in the dirty dozen ) . robert be look a little worn in this movie and give anybody wear a mask of an old ronald reagan a run for his money . the conflict arise mostly from these two character . apparently the two use to be friend and have since have a fall out . to add to the conflict and be dr. benson ( ex bond girl and luciana paluzzi ) . apparently rankin use to date her before and and she be now vince fiancé . the acting be typical of most sci fi b movie and terrible to average . this be mostly rank up by robert horton ( giant ham award winner ) and the extra . richard jaekel pull off his well know straight and tough guy . luciana provide very little distraction from the doldrum in space and this movie . the addition of some new space age dance ( resemble polka dance on speed ) and the intro theme song ( flower power remix of green slime ) be the vegeta in this stew . the movie do reasonably well consider the limited budget . the film itself be not very endear . i recommend it a a mindless alternative to prime time network tv or a a late night cap . definitely not a keeper . celluloid rehab .
