Actors: Franco Nero, George Kennedy, Deborah
Moore, Mary Stavin, William Berger
Rating: 1 out of 10, The latest in my
journey through 100 bad sci fi films features one of those alcoholic writers
lost in the tropics story. Italian stalwart Franco Nero is the tortured writer
hanging out in 1980s Columbia which wasn’t for the faint of heart to begin
with. He then stumbles upon a non-flying saucer and the chase is one as all the
Cold War agencies as well as the aliens are on his case. George Kennedy stops
by with a weirdly effeminate voice dubbed in since this is another Italian
import. The final 1/3 contains some action as they are chased by an alien
cyborg and are kind enough to stop and wait for him when they get too far
ahead. The cyborg was a veteran of the old Andy Sidaris movies so that was weird.
The author finally gets help from his knockout ex-wife but that result in the ugliest
alien transformation in cinematic history – lots of green goo.
MVP: Mary Stavin as the memorable Maureen
De Havilland
