Storyline

A man is in bed reading Sci-Fi mags, and his wife seduces him. He then falls asleep, and the rest is his dream. He is from an alternate world, and disguises himself as an alien, then boards their ship, to keep them from attacking his planet. The captain is a woman, who has two lesbian encounters with her crew, and whips one of them for trying to have sex with our hero. All of the women are anxious to seduce our hero, as the other two men on the ship are not very exciting. Our hero forces a landing on an asetroid (actually the outskirts of Palmdale, California) and everyone runs around topless and has sex. He then blows up the alien ship in the worst special effects explosion.

Trivia

Producer David F. Friedman didn't want the actresses to become known by name, because if they became known they would charge him more to appear in his films. Therefore, all the actresses' credited names are false.

User Reviews

Sort of like Flesh Gordon, just not as good

Much like Flesh Gordon, Space Thing is a porno movie from the days when they actually tried to be movies. It centers around an alien who takes human form to learn the ways of lovemaking. The women are refreshingly real looking but the guys ought to have worked out some more. If whip wielding sadist lesbians are your cup of tea, you can't go wrong with Space Thing.
