Product Description

Screwball sci-fi with a galaxy of gorgeous gals! It's Buck Rogers for adults as Col. James Granilla, an alien in human disguise, visits the flying saucer of Captain Mother and her all-girl crew in the year 2069. But because Granilla is a "Planetarian" and all the lovely space nymphs are "Terranians," he seeks to learn all about their "intimate ways." Though Captain Mother, a sadistic, whip-wielding lesbian, frowns on her gals making it with men, everyone wants to get it on with Granilla. When they land on an asteroid (where they need neither oxygen nor clothes), Granilla and the girls share some good old interplanetary passion. Finding himself in the enviable position of ship stud but homesick for his alien wife, Granilla decides to end all the romance with a micro atomic bomb... Full of sexy gals and unspecial effects, SPACE THING is a hilarious sci-fi skinflick from producer David F. Friedman (Trader Hornee). It's like Plan 9 in the nude!

Amazing camp performances and special effects. It's just a bonus that all the characters insist on having sex with each other every five minutes.Super quality transfer from SWV.

4.0 out of 5 stars What whipping scene?

The "whipping" scene hyped on the cover lasts like 20 seconds. Otherwise decent soft-core erotica, loved the space costumes.

I would seriously appreciate it if "Something Weird Video) would lose the opening crappy montage of creepy, seedy and sicko, twisted, scum-sucking bottom feeder trailer clips. Their trademark you say? Lose it anyway. Touted as a Sci-Fi Comedy film, this 1968 release runs 69 minutes. This is a "Something Weird Video" $17.5K exploitation effort to almost put a storyline with erotica. No shaved lunchmeat sandwiches in these sixties vintage dinner boxes, although there is variety. Not all of the actresses go wholly buff, and there isn't any bratwurst on the grill, strictly salmon. There is however a well-stocked display of lactose canteens. Keeping within the boundaries of softcore, some prefer their business partner with the same chromosomes. Some lash out at others and whip them into a frenzy. I would be willing to bet 98% of those who purchase and watch this film will never tell anyone, anywhere, for as long as they live. Me neither. I have no idea who Cara Peters, Karla Conway, Merci Montello, or Fancher Fague are. I may never see worse special FX ever, or hear more annoying soundtrack noise again. This UR film won't be otherwise given anything under a NC-17 in my lifetime. The alien incognito says he's from Kansas City, Kansas. You'll end up sticking this one in the back of your socks drawer, more than likely. Is it hot in here, or is it just me?

2.0 out of 5 stars Pajama Party In Space
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2004

This is a poorly made adult space spoof from the late 1960s, and despite the fact that I normally like the Something Weird line, this one is probably best left on the shelf. The print of the film is much better than most films of this generation, and the color is excellent, but besides that and a few not unattractive girls, it does not have much to recommend it.

The acting here is very bad and the sets would have made Ed Wood blush. The movie begins with a guy fighting with his wife about the plausibility of some sci-fi magazines he was reading, then quickly he becomes a space refugee stranded in what appears to be a model of part of the USS Enterprise (from "Star Trek") but he refers to as a "small space canoe." We later learn that he was saved from a collision that killed all his crewmates by his "supersonic sneakers."

He pulls along this saucer that must be seen to be believed, and comes aboard. You will note that everyone is wearing some form of pajamas, including the cat-suited female Captain. Perhaps the biggest spectacle of the film is the hair on these women. (Well, that and the blue eye shadow.) We see a bit of life onboard the spaceship (do not miss the toast performed at mealtime!) and then realize that our protagonist is out to destroy this ship as they are sworn enemies.

Because of his sabotage, they are forced to land on an asteroid (which looks exactly like the desert of Southern California), which they all explore in gauzy gowns. They basically wander around the desert scheming against each other while bad pan flute music plays in the background, further annoying the audience. Before it is over we get to see a very bad ray gun effect, a game of space checkers (which is a clear rip off of the "Star Trek" three dimensional chess) and the power of a "micro atomic bomb!" The best scene in the film is when the protagonist looks longingly at a picture of his family. You will laugh so hard you may fall off the sofa.

The film comes with a commentary track from Producer David F. Friedman, who reveals, among other things, that the entire film was made for $17,000 and was shot on 35mm stock, which means the actors must have been very well compensated, indeed...

There are two shorts, "Roll Oh Robot" is a futuristic tale of a robot butler and the hilarity he causes (he has a unique vacuum foot attachment that would be kind of useful), and "Dance of Tomorrow" is a little musical nightmare you might have seen on MST3K, featuring ugly fashions, and even uglier cars.

Overall, this has some funny moments, most of which involve "special" effects, but there are better Something Weird titles out there.

Is this movie relevant to the 60's nudie films.I guess you could say yes.Sorry for this contradictory review,because I'm not sure which way to go with this .It's kinda boring but if you fast foward past some of the parts that drag and go straight to the weird kinky sex scenes(of course the DVD release is from Something Weird Video) then you should get a pretty good laugh,as I for one did.One of those movies that has a great trailer but as a whole for the movie it's a bit of a bore.One star for the premise,0 stars for keeping my interest in watching the whole movie.The sets are so cheap,it's funny.The costumes of the actors are something to behold.Good pick up as a novelty piece to add to a collection,just as long as you don't pay much.Still even though there is a certain novelty charm to "Space Thing",I really don't think it deserves more then 1 star.A good 60% of this 1966 nudie cutie feature is still boring as hell.The trailer is probally the best thing about it.I have seen a complilation of bad movies from the past set DVD(I'm forgetting what it's called,something 42nd street something,oh well)and this garbage is on it garnering a 5 star trailer rating.
