Mutant (1982)
Dir- Allan Holzman
When the universe is in need of troubleshooting, they call Commander Colby who's motto is "if it moves and it ain't one of us kill it." Along with his robot sidekick SAM-104, Cdr Colby is summoned to planet Xarbia where a genetic experiment has decided to go rogue threating the safety of the small team of researchers. If it sounds like a ripoff of Alien, it pretty much is but with lots of nudity, sex and nude women showering. This Roger Corman produced offering shared special effects and props from Galaxy of Terror along with footage taken directly from Corman's Battle Beyond the Stars. Among the numerous Alien clones, Mutant aka Forbidden Planet aka Subject 20 was a standout favorite of mine along with Creature and Galaxy of Terror for the sheer cheesiness and nudity. Not as bad as you would think considering most of these films were churned out on slim budgets and depended on late night cable showings.
