Wild, Wild Planet | Star Frontiers

Wild, Wild Planet is a real B-rate film but has potential...<div><br /></div><div>Lots of what I call classic sci-fi set elements that work with SF. Space cars, fashions, and model city sets.<br /><div><br /></div><div>Some plot elements:</div><div><br /></div><div>Bio-medicine funded by "the corporations", is growing organs of humans in space on Gamma 1 space station, they also can miniaturize these organs.</div><div><br /></div><div>People are going missing on Earth (U.D. = United Democracies) who are important. There is a conflict of opinion between the working class astronauts & the scientists about all the creepy organ growing & extending life or improving yourself with the GM organs. Nature vs Science theme.</div><div><br /></div><div>"The corporations" seem to be a group of different companies all experimenting and working out in space. One company is CBM (Chem-Bio-Med). The structure of this group of "corporations" seems to be a "director general" as a sort of President over them all with each company being represented by it's "board of governors" an investigation into a company requires the approval of the director general & that company's board of governors, however if it is determined something improper is going on all companies must completely cooperate together and with the U.D. authorities (including Space Command). They seem to be using a quasi-government structure. </div><div><br /></div><div>There is of course a top secret mysterious research facility/planet Delphus owned & run collectively by "the corporations"... in which the perfect specimen female goes to holiday at the invite of a scientist. Delphus is a barren rock of a planet (arid), low light, but breathable atmosphere.</div><div><br /></div><div>Basically "the corporations" are funding a scientific research that is to help humanity, but is actually being used by rogue scientists to create a new kind of mankind. A perfect mankind.</div><div><br /></div><div>They have created perfect people and mutants by abducting "superior specimens" (both high IQ people & athletes) regardless of age (yes gifted children are vanishing) and the shipping them to Delphus. (Delphus has a moon... which is used to determine time somehow). The mutants absorb/shrink the person who is then put in mini-life support and shipped back to Delphus unshrunk and experimented on... seems a bit of a stretch for SF the miniaturization part... but absorbing the DNA of another to collect them might not be (of course anyone who sees this including children are murdered, a mutant operative who fails is killed by other control operatives, some people appear to also to be absorbed to assassinate them.) The device used to kill by operatives that are the female controllers is a poison stabbing pen they wear, that causes the mutant male looking operatives bodies to disintegrate. The end goal is a neither female or male perfect humans that are created by merging two people of opposite genders. The male mutants are bald and have 4 arms, may be light sensitive, they are cat eyed and always wear sun glasses, the extra grafted on arms which are smaller and have hands that have metallic looking clawish nails that do the absorbing somehow. The female operatives are all beauty, brains & deadly: very capable in hand to hand combat & capable of taking on a trained normal male human and winning the combat, but like the mutants will disintegrate if stabbed with their deadly pen. The female operatives escort the mutant males. People from Delphus (such as the Mutants are shipped in company boxes on life support). Regular looking males & females from/on Delphus are conditioned, enhanced humans, and may also be normal humans either conditioned or part of the conspiracy to make a perfect society & race. Any human not found to be useful in this project is "eliminated" as useless therefore if a normal subject is tested and found inadequate they are terminated. Of course getting used, is also a death sentence, but some part of your DNA lives on in some fashion in the perfected humans. If you are a perfected single gender human and make a mistake you are taken to "rejection"... that does not sound good. </div><div><br /></div><div>Best multiple question test/rant by the mad scientist ever with comeback potential: "How can this be commander? Is this the doing of a mad scientist? Black Magic or Mumbo Jumbo? A nightmare? Nothing of the sort. This is the application of fact, facts beyond your kin." The hero is a bit dense so no obvious come back, but if you could have a mad scientist gloat this to a party, I am sure people would have smart funny responses. <img src="http://www.starfrontiers.us/modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/p…; title="Wink" alt="Wink" border="0" /> </div><div><br /></div><div>Products advertised on Earth: </div><div>Computer-doll a talking doll "that are never naughty, and they never talk back, and recommended by the educational council, computer-dolls make excellent companions"</div><div>NewFace: "from the Martian Sea, it's a new life with New Face, and ... for women. A CBM product" (seems to be a product for men's faces as the male advertiser is putting something on his face, to be more attractive to women)</div><div>Facial Serenity: "a tissue stimulate,... a CBM product" (female advertiser had some sort of green thing, it does not look like a gizmo, more like a creature with to antenna with round eyes at end... could be an alien or GMO plant too? What ever it is it sounds like it is probably a beauty aide)</div><div><br /></div><div>Newspapers still occur, and books are all white with titles in black lettering.</div><div><br /></div><div>Delphus City a Great Place for Vacation:</div><div><br /></div><div>Showers appear to produce blood instead of water. Scraps of people are liquified and used as part of the bio-liquid systems around the city, showers, reflecting pools, etc.</div><div>The mediative mirror room: purpose to reflect image into infinity, which is symbolic of the perfected human race will reflect into the future across the cosmos.</div><div>The mad scientist has a failure room where he keeps his surviving failures of mutant, graph and conditioning experiments alive. </div><div>The Delphus Computer controls the city/facility.</div><div>All sorts of mad scientist torture, brain washing, and body part rooms and gizmos.</div><div><br /></div><div>Cultural Customs:</div><div>"The Great Moment" when 2 people are fussed into One.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway all the old style sets are fun and the story line I thought had some potential... maybe Delphus is a colony gone wrong, or Delphians survived and are now way out in space and discover Frontier Humans and decide to start improving the Frontier Humans... or maybe a rogue mad scientist & friends of a corporation have hit on this idea for some reason or other... maybe a Frontier ships discovers Delphus Culture and at first everyone thinks they are a new race of aliens that look human like, until they realize the truth & how much danger they are in. The final Delphian end product might be bi-sexual and all cat-eyed for instance, so could look very alien.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>
