Saturn 3

[Bmeansgood]

Wow, I caught about 30 minutes of this movie while I was getting ready to leave for school this morning.  I was just flipping channels and saw this pathetic looking robot standing there.  Then I was flooded with scene after scene of Kirk Douglas and Farrah Fawcett continously running away from it.   My wife assumed the regular pose of rolling her eyes at me.   Nothing gets me quite as excited at 6am as a bad sci-fi horror movie!

It looked so bad that I now have to rent it just to see how it started (and ended).

I'm not sure why, but I kinda liked this film. Kirt Douglas and Farrah Facett. It has a neat look or something. It's something you can watched while doing something else.

The Robot in Saturn 3 had this awesome looking body ... and a desklamp for a head.  How pathetic.

I have always wondered why there was an airlock in the locker room.  Also to ponder:  if you do have an airlock in your locker room, shouldn't there be a warning signal transmitted to the control room if it is opened?

The other big problem?  Kirk's very white, very old, bare butt.  Talk about a mood killer...

I think this came along in the euphoric rush of Sci-fi films after Star Wars.  If it was sci-fi, people would rush to see it, thought the studios.  Er, not in this case!  Featuring the personality-free FFM was not a good idea.  Having Hector's head played by an Anglepoise lamp wasn't a good idea, either.  From what I remember the sets looked good, though.

Hey, it ws the first chance we got to see Farrah's tits!  Something we adolescents growing up with Charlie's Angels were hoping to see.  A fun movie.

I rented it last night to get the full experience.  I would say it was worth my $1.50.  The movie was a blatant rip off of many sci-fi pieces of the time and the ending was really, really bad. But......

I think the mark of a good movie is how much you think about it after it is over.  Saturn 3 has been on my mind ever since I got a glimpse of it earlier this week.  I have no doubt that  I could tolerate living on a barren planet with no other human contact but a scantily clad (and quite frisky) Farrah running around.  

But the really tough decision comes when I wonder if I would be willing to live on that same barren planet with a scantily clad (and quite frisky) Farrah running around, while being chased by a killer robot.  

I haven't made that decision yet.

That's a no brainer.  Getting to fight a killer robot, and Farrah to boot?  Priceless.

Yeah, but I dislike the idea of fighting a killer robot with nothing more than flesh and blood.  Give me some items such as a .50 caliber rifle and I would be more than happy to give it a whirl.  Poking at a psychotic robot with a stick?  No thank you.

[raj]

True.  I forget how they actually did deal with the robot.

In case the crew fails their quarterly review? :)

Seriously, a friend and I were wondering the same thing...

Me too.

They managed to disable Hector once by pinning him down and pulling out his brain. True, Farrah isn't as strong as Harvey, but they could probably have managed it. They just have to destroy the brain once they remove it.

>True. I forget how they actually did deal with the robot.

Kirk puts explosives on his body then tackles Hector into a water tank that was under the lab floor and blows him up.
