Sure, this is a crappy B-movie. It's full of bad acting, terrible writing, and has the worst rubber monsters I've ever seen. But it's a pretty good crappy B-movie.

Directed with flair by Kinji Fukasaku (Battle Royal, Black Lizard, Message From Space), this has a lot of things I'm a total sucker for: miniature effects, swingin' chicks in miniskirts, and a sweet garage-psyche title song.

But by anyone's measure The Green Slime is quite a bit of dumb fun. It sets up a nice love triangle between the leads, establishes the scenario with some kitchy space station and outer space sets, and once the action kicks in it's a full board disaster movie with lasers and screaming and the aforementioned ridiculous rubber monsters.

On a side note, I'm eating saag right now. It looks like the green slime in the movie. Not sure what that means.

Legendary Japanese film-maker Kinji Fukasaku brings his fast and frenetic style to this entertaining sci-fi adventure/horror about a space-station under siege by a horde of duplicating, tentacled cyclops space-monsters!? "WHAT?!!"
Mixed together with sharp, snappy editing, imaginative visuals, and energetic performances, these elements all combine to make this B-movie a joy to behold.

Feels Italian yet is Japanese. Making it one of the best sci-fi films ever made by default. Fun fun fun.

I can only recommend Green Slime to people who can appreciate a cheesy B-movie once in a while. Its low budget is evident everywhere, the acting is hammy, but it's clear that filmmakers aren't without talent and there was actually a lot of effort put into it to make a entertaining sci-fi monster picture.

Toy model sci-fi procedural that turns into a rubber monster festival. In a lot of ways this ripped off the original Star Trek series and laid the template the Star Trek The Next Generation movie "First Contact".

Ambition and bad design clash, resulting in a movie that's both somber and silly. Very watchable.

Great creature feature!

Watching this movie I was impressed by a few things. First was the amazing and I mean this, theme song. Second, the Green Slime monsters look they where the blueprint for the classic 'OCHO' in Final Fantasy.

I love campy 'B' movies and sci-fi's from the 50's to 70's are my favortie, so you might not want to take my recommendation on this one. But the effects remind me of Thunderbirds, the music of classic Stan Bush and the acting of 60's sci-fi's.

THE GREEN SLIME: This movie has been hyped as one of the great so-bad-it's-good movies, and I've always been curious since it was directed by Kinji Fukasaku, who directed gritty Yakuza thrillers like BATTLES WITHOUT HONOR AND HUMANITY and one of my high school favorites, BATTLE ROYALE. Having seen it, I see why the Razzie goons love it, all you need are cheesy sets and bad rubber suits and your film is guaranteed a spot in shitty Medved Brothers book. But really it's not too different from other weird (and better) Japanese genre movies from the era like THE X FROM OUTER SPACE. The only truly great thing about it is the UH-MAZING theme song.

Dreadful hammy acting in this "let's send a spaceship out to destroy the asteroid that's going to destroy earth" film. And in this "oh look at this alien life that's going to kill us all" film. Some of the characters were seriously annoying although no doubt they were intended to be strong, commanding, the sort of people viewers would admire.
I guess this is one to watch for a bit of a laugh rather than as a serious sci-fi story.
