The Green Slime (1968)

 What's that on your shoe? UGGGGGG IT'S......THE GREEN SLIME!!! This odd Japanese/American co-production stars Richard Jaeckel (Sgt Bowren in The Dirty Dozen) and concerns an asteroid on a collision course with Earth. Some astronauts set out from their space station to blow it up, and in the process one of them gets a bit of lime jelly on his leg. Once back at the station this begins to grow at an alarming rate, and it eventually mutates into a bunch of one eyed jelly-men waving sparklers in their slimy paws. Throw in a REALLY REALLY dumb script and some of the ropiest sets ever designed and you get one STINKER of a story.Robert Horton is good as the hard-ass senior Commander from Earth who overrides Jaeckel's orders at every turn, then BLAMES HIM when it all goes tentacles up! Good for a laugh. More from Sneaky Elephant's big bag of bad movies soon!
