Android (1982) Anyone ever see this flick? My folks took me to see it in the theater when I was eleven. It's one of the best low-budget films ever.

I love old low budget films like this, but haven't seen this one.

Here's something that I found even creepier.

YES! What an awesome cheesy flick that I'd entirely forgotten about!

heh, I was thirteen when I saw it Hugh. It was still excellent.

It would suck to go into space to make illegal androids and realize, crap, you forgot the Philips-head!

Anyway, Klaus Kinski + androids + spaceships + space sex = queued.

Yes, I saw it but don't remember much about it now. Kinski ... he just looks so weird.

Speaking of androids, I just got Blade Runner in the mail through Netflix yesterday. Just had a hankerin'. One of those movies I just have to see now and then, like Taxi Driver or Apocalypse Now.

God, I love watching Kinski chew the scenery.

There's quite a bit of thematic overlap with a contemporary "I can't believe ___ is in that" schlockfest, Saturn 3 ^.

If you don't mind being spoiled, and your doctor allows you to have this much cheese, watch. (Uh, music composed much later than the flick ...)

This looks like something my partner would LOVE. Going to have to find this movie.
