Review of Saturn 3 (1980) by Anne G — 30 Jun 2009
Saturn 3 is a 1980 science fiction film starring Kirk Douglas, Farrah Fawcett and Harvey Keitel. Direction is credited to Stanley Donen but the project was conceived by John Barry who was due to direct until a dispute with Douglas led to his being fired. The screenplay was written by award-winning British novelist Martin Amis.
N the distant future, single man and woman scientific team living on one of Saturn's moons to grow food for the starving Earth, have their isolation shattered when a deranged killer, masquerading as a visiting technology expert, arrives at their lonely outpost to take over their work and build a lethal creation: a super-intelligent 8-foot robot which later takes a murderous mind of its own.
Some of the space effects shots appeared lackluster compared to the new standard set by Star Wars. The film included brief nude scenes by both Farrah Fawcett and a 31 years older Kirk Douglas.
