Saturn 3 (1980)
3/10
Maybe we should have had Michael Douglas, instead of his father
19 May 2024
Farrah Fawcett was only three years younger than Michael Douglas. In this movie, however, we had Kirk Douglas, who was thirty years older than Farrah Fawcett. Kirk's presence in this movie was a case of miscasting, if there ever was such a case. He was clearly too old for the role he played. The "amourous" scenes between him and Farrah (which are nothing to go out of your way for) are completely unconvincing. Farrah's highly touted nude scene is also nothing to go out of your way for. The movie was rated R. However, what Farrah "shows" here could have easily gotten away with a PG rating. The movie is almost a complete flop. Two lovers ( who come across more like father and daughter) living on an asteroid, being menaced by an "intruder" from Earth. Another question raised. Since they felt that they needed to dub Harvey Keitel's voice, why didn't they just use a different actor? Keitel, like Douglas, was miscasted. Only Farrah Fawcett had the potential to make this movie work. To a small degree, she actually did. Despite her underwhelming nude scene, Farrah at least gave me someone that was nice to look at!
