After a perilous mission to a huge asteroid, a crew returns to its space station, unaware a bit of ooze from the asteroid clings toa crewman's uniform. The green goop grows – into murderous, tentacled monsters. And as station members fight to live, gunk from themonsters' wounds turns into more monsters! That's the story. Now enjoy as our heroes fight to preserve Earth and, unintentionally,our own senses of humor with a movie that Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times called "one of the funniest made-in-Japan sci-fimonster movies ever." Kinji Fukasaku, whose later work was championed by Quentin Tarantino, directs. The world would be a far morebleak and joyless place without marvels like The Green Slime.
