The Green Slime (1968), directed by the famous Japanese director Kinji Fukasaku, follows a semi-corporate group who has been asked by their government to travel to an asteroid and destroy it before it destroys planet Earth. The crew quickly and bombastically eradicates the asteroid, but not before being infected by an acidic green slime and bringing it back to their mothership, Gamma 3. The green slime quickly mutates from a sticky nuisance into a gang of multi-tentacled, one-eyed brutes. A subplot involves a love triangle between Commander Jack Rankin (Robert Horton), Commander Vince Elliott (Richard) and Dr. Lisa Benson (Luciana Paluzzi).
The Old Metairie Sci-Fi and Fantasy Discussion Group meets monthly to discuss science fiction books or to watch sci-fi movies.
