Space Thing (1968)
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.

This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Brilliant and touching
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
This movie makes Ed Woods Plan 9 From Outer Space look like an Academy Award winner. The set looks like common household items such as an extending aluminum as a stair case, kitchen chairs that look like upturned garbage cans. This is one of those movies that are not even so bad their good.
Space Thing (1968) * 1/2 (out of 4) Corny, low-budget sexploitation film from producer David Friedman has nerdy husband James Granilla (Steve Vincent) too caught up in his sci-fi comics to pay much attention to his beautiful and horny wife. Later in the film, a look-a-like of the same character (and same actor), but now an alien, takes human form and enters a spaceship where there are plenty of beautiful women.SPACE THING is one of the best known sexploitation films out there but I honestly don't see why. I guess the science fiction might bring a few people to the film who wouldn't normally watch these softcore films but there's very little here in regards to entertainment. The film was obviously shot on a shoestring budget but this adds some campy charm and especially with the ultra cheap sets. The film also manages to load up on the beautiful women and as you'd expect there's non-stop nudity from start to end.I really wouldn't be shocked if this thing had a lower budget than PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE or ROBOT MONSTER. Those two films were so bad yet they're entertaining and rather charming. I can't say the same thing about SPACE THING because it's just too slow for its own 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.
If sex movies are your thing, then this is definitely for you! This is the rarest thing you'll ever come across, with a blend of science fiction and very attractive space girls, not to mention the silliest looking sets in movie history. So why am I canning a nice little sex show like SPACE THING? Let's face it, even after 30 years, it's still not regarded as wholesome valuable entertainment, and just like those expensive shot-on-video productions designed to drain away your apartment funds, it's a dramatic waste of your time and money! A little spice and cheesecake is alright, but too much sauce goes an awful long way! Leave this and other sexual garbage movies alone!!!
