What happens
The Green Slime (Japanese: ガンマー第3号 宇宙大作戦, Hepburn: Ganmā Daisan Gō: Uchū Daisakusen; lit. 'Gamma 3: The Great Space War') is a 1968 science fiction film directed by Kinji Fukasaku and starring Robert Horton, Richard Jaeckel and Luciana Paluzzi. It was written by Bill Finger, Tom Rowe and Charles Sinclair, from a story by Reiner. After destroying a huge asteroid that was on a rapid collision course with Earth, a group of astronauts discover they have accidentally returned to their space station with an alien slime creature that feeds on radiation and can reproduce rapidly from its own blood. The film was an international co-production between Japan's Toei Company and American studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It was shot entirely in Japan with an all-Japanese crew, but a mostly-American cast. It was released in the United States on December 1, 1968, and in Japan on December 19. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
