PROJECT SHADOWCHASER III

PROJECT SHADOWCHASER III. John Eyres, dir. EGM Film International (prod.) / Nu Image (release), 1994. Sam Bottoms, Musetta Vanders, stars, with Christopher Atkins. *¢+Recombinant cinema mixing ALIEN (film) with THE TERMINATOR I and II (q.v.), and with the John Carpenter's THE THING (1982)—with just a hint of Invasion of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1956, 1978), the James Bond flik MOONRAKER (1979), and BLADE RUNNER (Sam Bottoms is made to look like a Rick Deckard clone). The Comsat 5 satellite is rammed by the deep-space ore refining vessel Siberia; Comsat 5 is a Modern vessel, Siberia postModern. On board the Siberia is "The Android": a terminator-type cyborg that is a shape-shifter that seems to take over or replace human bodies. The cat in ALIEN is replaced by a dog, and the "last girl" heroine gets to take the hero along in the escape pod for something to do until rescue.
