Legendary in its own way because of its title - a Japanese movie made in co production with MGM which has ensured a healthy after life. It's has a strong cast - Robert Horton, Richard Jaekel and Luciana Paluzzi - plus a surprisingly robust story: a space crew goes up to an asteroid to stop it blowing up (years before Armageddon!), and brings back a slimy thing that wipes out people (years before Alien ... but well after The Thing).
There is solid special effects, and a decent love triangle to give things extra spice - Paluzzi is with Jaekel but used to be with Horton. The monster is laughable and while the film is okay with the military aspect it's not very good with spookiness and suspense. It's simply too silly.
