The lead here was played by Alex Cord; Saxon took over the role in the second and third films. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the third one, either. Random's evaluations of the movies are appropriate. --- Jeff Rogers jcr@Mitre-Bedford

Ah, yes, I remember GENESIS II -- filmed on the University of California at Riverside campus while I was an undergrad (just dated myself, eh?). I have fond memories of standing in a group and cheering as the film crew "burned" down the Library.... Scenes for "BUG", a horrible version of THE HAEPHESTUS PLAGUE were filmed in my apartment building. One of my friends in Scientific Illustration made all the foot-long plastic cockroaches. What strange things one gets nostalgic about. -- Berry Kercheval Zehntel Inc. (ihnp4!zehntel!zinfandel!berry) (415)932-6900 (kerch@lll-tis.ARPA)

In the second post-bomb movie (Planet Earth? with the Amazons -- who were mentioned in the first movie) the bad guys are the Kreeg. They reappeared in Star Trek -- The Movie as none other than the Klingons.
