Starlog Theater: Mutant Forbidden World (1982)

Forbidden World, originally titled Mutant, is a 1982 American science fiction erotic horror film. The screenplay was written by Tim Curnen, from a screenstory by R.J. Robertson and Jim Wynorski. It was co-edited and directed by Allan Holzman, who had edited Battle Beyond the Stars two years earlier. The cast includes Jesse Vint, Dawn Dunlap, June Chadwick, Linden Chiles, Fox Harris and Michael Bowen. Forbidden World has also been released under the titles Mutant and Subject 20.
According to director Allan Holzman he began shooting without a script with these directions from Corman: "You have four days to write, produce and direct a seven- to eight-minute opening of a space movie… I'll give you an astronaut and a robot, and if you need any inspiration, I've always wanted to do a version of Lawrence of Arabia in outer space." Holzman created the sequence adding in a dog fighting sequence using footage from Battle Beyond the Stars, Corman was impressed and signed Holzman to direct.
Forbidden World was shot under the working title Mutant over the course of a 20 day shooting schedule for under $1 million. Due to the rapid pace of filming and production, cast and crew often had to be careful what they touched or where they stepped as sets would often have wet paint while they were filming. The effects were crafted by Robert and Dennis Skotak. During editing, Holzman discovered he had insufficient footage of the titular mutant and called in John Carl Buechler to redo some of the sequences
