Forbidden World (1982)
In a making-of documentary, director Allan Holzman reveals he began shooting without a script with these directions from Roger Corman, "You have four days to write, produce and direct a seven- to eight-minute opening of a space movie… I'll give you an astronaut and a robot, and if you need any inspiration, I've always wanted to do a version of Lawrence of Arabia in outer space." lolz!
This is an ALIEN rip-off with 80s typical B-movie sleaziness! But it could be a lot more entertaining with less hysterical editing & those unnecessary high-angle shots. Moreover, that Xenomorph inspired creature deserved little more budget & screen time, IMO.
They even made a remake of it in 9 years later, DEAD SPACE...featuring Bryan Cranston!
