- Jack Rankin - Our hero, with an ego almost as big as his disturbingly shaped head. He does lots of rolly, jumpy things and is a take-charge kind of guy.
- Vince Elliott - Sort of like Jack, only nicer and less efficient. He gets hugged to death by a slime monster.
- Lisa - Vince's Russian (?) fiance', except that she probably ends up with Jack because he's the hero and Vince dies.
- Doctor Hans Halverson - What slime monster film would be complete without a stupid doctor who wants to save the creature in the name of science? This is that fellow, and he pays for his nonviolence.
- Michaels - The expendable ensign type guy of the film, he gets fried pretty early on.
- The Slime Monsters - One-eyed, two-tentacled electrical creatures which can regrow from their own blood! Rather cute in a way.

| Oh no! An asteroid is heading for Earth and only a brave team of space heroes can save the world! Sadly, when these heroes land on the asteroid to place charges, one of them gets a bit of something green stuck to his knee. Once the Earth is saved and our heroes return to a space station, this little bit of something green grows into a slime monster capable of rapid reproduction from its own blood! Soon it gets shot, its blood reproduces, and there are lots and lots of fierce wee beasties running around killing people. Eventually, though, the hero decides "screw it, let's just blow everything up." So he does, and everyone (well, everyone alive) lives happily ever after. |

| Things I Learned From This Movie: | |
|
- Knee hygiene is very important.
- Never save the life of a strange alien creature.
- In fact, trying to save any kind of life always ends in tragedy.
- While laser guns don't stop alien creatures, hospital beds and flashlights do.
- Guns are most effective when thrown like spears.
- The future is absolutely filled with phallic symbols.
- The future also doesn't look much different from the 60s.
- The future is very well lit.
- Space stations blow up real good.
- Smoke rises in space.
- A movie involving slime isn't complete without a cheesy song (see also The Blob).
