      When the guards attempt to confiscate Aldrich's cigarettes in the execution chamber the guard to Aldrich's right is wearing a balaclava which covers his mouth. When the camera cuts back the guard to Aldrich's right is wearing a ski mask that covers his whole face except for his eyes and mouth. There's no indication that Aldrich turned to face the other guard around since the entry door is still behind his left shoulder.

    A Real B-Grade Shocker
    Lets start with the fact that a lot of movies have been successfully produced using the plot from another film, here is a classic exception to that rule. Dirty Dozen was a classic war movie working with the premise that 12 convicted criminals , with nothing to lose, would be perfect fighting machines for a covert operation. Legion tries to put a 21st century Sci Fi spin on this concept, and not only does it fall short, it never gets off the ground.

    With a couple of recognisable names in the cast, it promised to be at least an average film, but, boy! were we wrong. Classic heart throb Troy Donahue acted like some one had placed a carrot in his underwear, and then sprayed his face with some form of transparent plastic compound, only his eyeballs seemed to move.

    Corey Feldman, as a computer nerd, was obviously told that as long as he wore thick rimmed glasses, that would be all the method acting he would require. Lucky for him these advanced computers of the future consisted of giant flashing lights on a huge panel ( all that was missing was some reel to reel tape spinning in the background)

    Expatriate Australian Rick Springfield, as an actor makes a damn fine singer songwriter, at least he gets a little more action than he did when he was in Battlestar Galactica. As Lorne Greens' son, he gets killed off in the first five minutes. He is probably wishing that he had suffered the same fate in this turkey.

    The props were farcical, the setting was obviously an old factory which we are told to believe is a space station, the plot, script, and directing are abysmal, but the actual space monster is the crowning glory to this all. We are not permitted to see this creature till the very end of the film, and you can see why. Loosely based on an extra from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this creatures face refuses to show any animation, even when it speaks, nothing moves. If they panned back a bit, I swear you would see the ventriloquist with his hand inside a puppet, drinking a glass of water.

    This film is in trouble, not bad enough to be a cult classic, not good enough for human consumption..A Real Shocker!!
