It’s Buck Rogers for adults as Col. James Granilla, an alien in human disguise, visits the flying saucer of Captain Mother, and her all-girl crew in the year 2060. But because Granilla is a "Planetarian" and all the lovely space nymphs are "Terranians," he seeks to learn all about their "intimate ways."

The SassyFlix Take

Space Thing is what happens when Buck Rogers crash-lands in an adults-only asteroid belt: cross-dressing aliens, a dominatrix captain, topless space chases, and an explosion that’s pure B-movie cheese. The Palmdale outskirts never looked so... extraterrestrial.

From the vault: Not every sci-fi odyssey needs a budget—sometimes it just needs nerve.

Why Cult

Saucy Space Captain

Captain Mother leads her crew with a whip and a penchant for mixing pleasure with punishment, including two lesbian encounters and a notable disciplinary scene.

Campy Special Effects

The climactic spaceship explosion is famous for its spectacularly bad special effects, a true highlight for lovers of low-budget sci-fi.

Palmdale Goes Cosmic

Asteroid surfaces are played by the outskirts of Palmdale, California, serving up terrestrial terrain as intergalactic scenery.

Erotic Alien Antics

Our disguised hero is the center of attention for the spaceship’s amorous women, giving a Planetarian’s-eye view of Terranian ‘intimate ways.’

About This Film

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.
