My first reaction was to go  Buggedout, my second was to try to find Father Karras' number  Wink until I opened it and found it was a synopsis of the South Africa hippie film Satan's Harvest.  Thumbup

From the synopsis of this film, I almost think South Africa was a bit late to the classic exploitation films like REEFER MADNESS, because this sounds very much like a "drugs are bad, m'kay" kind of movie. But then they did make DEATH OF A SNOWMAN in S.A. and it felt a lot like 70's blaxploitation.

You should write a book on the various "bad" movies made or filmed in South Africa. I'd definitely buy something like that.

Thanks, Brother Java  Smile

Starting in the middle to early 80s, there was a plethora (is that a word?  Question)  of terrible movies made here to take advantage of loopholes in the tax laws and to get what is known as a "subsidy" from the government, i.e. you make a film, show it to so many people and we will pay you out. This went bad very very quickly and films like Nukie, Space Mutiny, Laser Mission and others were the result of this.

That's not all.

1. The original cut of Nukie was trashed after a German company bought it and another director was brought in.
2. I knew the original director personally.

Also happened in Canada, and I've heard that's how Uwe Boew was able to keep making movies; German film subsidies.
Edit: Yeah, eveyone already knows this, but it's early & I can't process sarcasm yet.  Wink

Was the origional cut of Nukie better/worse than the final released cut?

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
