Farrah Fawcett, Harvey Keitel, and (today 101 year old) Kirk Douglas together? If nothing else, the casting makes it worth the brief runtime of this dark, bizarre campfest. People freaking out about 63-year-old Douglas' naked butt? You'd better hope you look that good when you get there...which is part of the whole point of this flick. Douglas is holding it together, basically a superman for his age...but it doesn't matter. Age is winning. He's failing. And a fucking giant robot wants his gal. There's pathos here, real pathos under all the shitty acting, and the only disappointment, for me, was that Elmer Bernstein, the great, underrated Elmer, didn't step up and add something to the score. And Keitel's dubbed dialog is weird...but wow, that young Keitel sure does look compelling as hell. There are about a million worse ways to spend 1.5 hours.

not a masterpiece, quite flawed, yet worth seeing once ... (or maybe twice, if you're a pervert robot digging other guys GFs ...) ;-)was seeing this movie's tag on YouTube for a few days but since i never was a big Farrah Fawcett fan just thought this must be a cheesy scifi and thus left it alone ...clicked on the tag last night at last and most of the scenes at the start look really well done so just decided to sit and move on ... and it was a good decision because although it is a little bit too flawed, cheesy even, in some areas, it's been made rather well overall ... i liked the sets in particular ...of course, the movie Alien's influence (as well as other scifi movies) is quite evident here but i dare say James Cameron did like certain items in this movie (aside from some sexy tits and limbs of course!) and then he came up with the Terminator ... :-)wanted to give it 7/10 but decided 5/10 is more suited ...good quality HD 720 copy here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk5tLK22f70

Captain Benson (Harvey Keitel) failed his psych test and kills his replacement to travel to Saturn 3 station. The Experimental Food Research Station has only scientists couple Alex (Farrah Fawcett) and Adam (Kirk Douglas) and their dog Sally. Alex has never been to earth. Bension brings with him the DemiGod series robot Hector to replace one of the scientists. He becomes obsessed with Alex and transfers his insanity as he programs Hector directly linked to his brain. Adam is weary of Bension and would rather get rid of him. Neither Benson nor Hector can contain their homicidal tendency.I have never seen Harvey Keitel so stiff. He's trying to be menacing. Since he's Harvey Keitel, he easily achieves that. He definitely has creepy. However he could have been better. (I read the trivia says he was dubbed... that would account for the stiffness.) Kirk Douglas is so old compared to Farrah Fawcett. He's not a very likable character. This has a real cheesy 70s vibe to it. Their home furniture looks completely dated like a 70s space movie. The robot also look very dated. The big problem for it is that it moves so slowly. Also the design is slap together without any artistic flair. A giant robot as an idea is interesting. The execution is lacking. Also it's hard to build up tension. The action is shot poorly. The special effects look bad. The base looks the same no matter where they go. The whole thing reminds me what bad sci-fi used to look like.

In the future, Earth is overcrowded and the population relies on distant bases to be fed. In the Saturn 3 station, Major Adam (Kirk Douglas) and the scientist Alex (Farrah Fawcett), who is also his lover and has never been on Earth, have been researching hydroponics for three years in the base alone with their dog Sally. Meanwhile, the psychotic Captain Benson (Harvey Keitel) fails the mental test required to travel to Saturn 3 and kills his replacement, Captain James, taking his place in the mission of assembling and programming the Demi-God series robot Hector to replace one of the scientists in Saturn 3. On the arrival, the mentally disturbed Captain Benson becomes sexually obsessed for Alex. Then he uses an interface to link his brain to program Hector, but incapable to control his emotions, he transfers his homicidal tendency and insanity to Hector. Now Major Adam and Alex are trapped in the station with a dangerous psychopath robot."Saturn 3" is an underrated sci-fi cult from the 80's with a dark story that has not aged. The plot is very simple but creepy and the cast is very well selected: Kirk Douglas very mature but still handsome, convincing that Major Adam is capable to seduce Alex. The underrated actress Farrah Fawcett in the top of her beauty and showing parts of her body, seducing not only the psychopath Captain Benson but ( I believe) most of the male viewers. And Harvey Keitel is perfect as a mentally unstable man with sex drive on Alex. The non-commercial conclusion is also excellent and perfect for the story. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Missão Saturno 3" ("Mission Saturn 3")
