The version I watched was released by Mill Creek on their 50-movie DVD collection entitled "Nightmare Worlds," which is the R-rated U.S. cut, running 84 minutes. There are longer versions, but the parts claimed to be cut out here in this critter.
I understand that there is a Blu-ray version floating around out there.
Writer/director Luigi Cozzi's first script for the film was titled "Alien Arrives on Earth," the copy I watched is called “Alien Contamination.”
First of all, we find a ship from South America barreling into New York Harbor. Not waiting or drifting. It is against the rules to barrel in without permission. A tugboat is dispatched to get it under control.
Yep, it is one of those crew missing movies, as in Nosferatu. However, upon further exploration, we find body parts from internal expansion. And of course, extra-large coffee beans; oops, what looks like big green gooey eggs.
One plus is that we can add this to the other flamethrower movies.
As the story plays out, it gets even weirder, and we may come across something extraterrestrial and a nefarious plot. I am not going to step through the details, as that is why you are going to watch.
You can kibitz and egg them on.
