![]() ![]() Realizing that he is doomed, Nurmi destroys Delphos and his laboratory as Halstead's group rescues Connie and the general.Īndroids with four arms! Curvaceous, lifelike inflatable women! Bald interplanetary kidnappers dressed in dark raincoats and shades! Human mutants and laboratory rejects! A bizarre space-age cabaret where all of the performers are dressed as giant butterflies! These are just a few of the sights you'll see on The Wild, Wild Planet (1965), a groovy Italian science-fiction adventure directed by Antonio Margheriti. Despite capture and the threat of extermination, Halstead and his men outwit their adversaries and succeed in overpowering Nurmi and his organization. There they find Connie, the missing general, and many others slated for transformation experiments. Halstead is arrested but escapes and takes off for Delphos with two companions, Ken and Jake, and a small band of space troops. After discovering that robot creatures are abducting Earth people and taking them to the planetoid of Delphos, Halstead accuses Nurmi of being the brains behind the operation. When it is learned that a large number of people have been disappearing from Earth, including a UD general, Halstead is placed in charge of an investigating party. These biological experiments are distasteful to UD Commander Halstead, and further hostility between the two men develops when they both take a romantic interest in Connie Gomez, an officer in Nurmi's laboratory. Under the supervision of Nels Nurmi, a brilliant scientist, Combined Corporations is engaged in the miniaturization of human organs and species. In the year 2015 two planetary systems-the United Democracies (UD) and the Combined Corporations-are rivals for control of the universe.
