comment
Forbidden World is a 1982 sci-fi/horror film produced by Roger Corman and directed by Allan Holzman.In the distant future, on the way back to Earth, bounty hunter Mike Colby and his android companion SAM are diverted to the remote planet Xarbia. There, a research facility has accidentally created a horrible monster called Subject 20. Shortly after Colby's arrival, the creature proceeds to decimate the lab's staff and becomes bent on converting them into a source of food.The film utilized many of the same sets as Galaxy of Terror, which is standard Corman procedure for you.Not to be confused with Forbidden Planet.

Stock Footage

comment
Stock Footage: Footage from Battle Beyond the Stars is used for an Action Prologue that has nothing to do with the plot. Our hero then flies through more stock footage from Galaxy of Terror. Roger Corman never let good footage go to waste.

Eating the Eye Candy: Barbara eyes Colby with interest from the moment he turns up, and it doesn't take long for them to have sex. In fairness it's a small space station and he is quite handsome.

Too Dumb to Live
 Forbidden World / int_b58b4e3c
comment
Too Dumb to Live: Barb disagrees with everyone else about destroying the creature and tries to communicate with it instead. The predictable happens. Jimmy takes the gold medal, though. He's in the lab alone with a containment chamber that holds the cocoon Subject 20 spun for itself after killing all the lab animals in the facility. He notices that it's twitching and contacts Dr. Hauser to tell him. Then he goes over to the containment chamber, opens the door, sticks his head inside, then leaves the door open while he turns his back on it and talks some more on the intercom. When Subject 20 hatches, Jimmy puts his face right up next to it, through the open door of the chamber. The outcome of this is also predictable.

Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: Dr. Hauser is probably the least morally upstanding of the bunch, but really, everyone in the facility qualifies, as it's a black site specifically intended to sidestep ethical restrictions on scientific research.
