Just pump in some kill gas and be done with this thing, right? Based on this sitrep I wasn’t real sure what Mike was there to do. Why this involves splicing something with human material and implanting it into a woman to give birth to is probably confined to some sort of subscription-only scientific journal only an egghead could understand anyway.Īll we and Mike Colby need to know is that some grody looking thing got loose and killed every living thing in the lab and is now resting comfortably in a cage where it appears to be undergoing some sort of metamorphosis. The nerds on Xarbia are monkeying around with genetic splicing in order to combat a food shortage. And while Forbidden World didn’t have anything as monumentally sleazy as the raped-by-space-worm scene of Galaxy of Terror, it made up for it by having more nude scenes including an all-girl decontamination scene. Both it and Galaxy of Terror managed to crib elements from Alien, but improved it by adding needless and sometimes jarring nudity, bad music, and gallons of gore that would have done some of the infamous Italian horror directors of the day proud. He’s also the guy who screws the crap out of one of the sexy scientists the first night he’s there, even though everyone knows the killer alien is loose trying to hunt them all down!īut you know who else he is? He’s also the guy that first thing next morning, heads down to the sauna where the other sexy scientist is getting some nude sweating in and tries to show her his test tube! (And if I knew that science labs were chock full of babes and saunas, I would have paid a hell of a lot more attention in chemistry class!)įorbidden World easily upholds its reputation as the second movie in the space horror trashy twosome produced by Roger Corman in the 1980s. Despite looking like a worn out, skinny, middle-aged loser, he’s the guy the Federation calls when there’s trouble at the lab. It’s nice then to see in that in far flung future of Forbidden World, cancer is on the side of the angels, aiding haggard-looking space hero Mike Colby in defeating an apparently rampaging (you don’t really see it move much – it just sort of shows up in places opening and closing its toothy mouth) alien eating the dullards inhabiting a research lab on the planet Xarbia.Īnd if cancer is a bad ass in this movie, it’s got a lot of company. It even gets blamed for making something cool like smoking really, really uncool. Cancer gets a pretty bad rap what with it killing millions of people yearly and not having any cure for it and all.
