“WILD is the Word For This World!”
Premium Crap. CrapScore 75, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Space-age progress has given us miniature people, enormous hair and a kidnapping operation that desperately needs a less conspicuous uniform. This Italian sci-fi oddity treats its mad science with magnificent seriousness while the future wobbles around it.

Corroborates the miniature bodies, missing people and giant-human experimentation in The Wild, Wild Planet. The Million Monkey Theater article uses a fictional Star Trek conversation as its review framing; that framing is not part of the film.
