The
Clonus Horror - a movie in which the hero is a clone on a clone
farm. It displays some of the ethical issues on cloning and even gets into
political agendas. One person who suggested this movie to the HCF
reports that the movie is "Pretty scarry for the seventies."
The Human Duplicators - Low budget movie also called Jaws of the Alien.
All about Eve - Clones show up on the TV Show the X-Files. The episode is so popular it's now out on video.
Dr. Stitch - It's a stretch to consider this movie about cloning. A a doctor makes a person out of other people's parts.
Face Off - In movies dealing (near or far) with cloning. One movie that comes to mind, is Face Off with John Travolta and Nicholas Cage. It's a movie about an FBI officer (Travolta) getting a facial transplant so that he looks like a notorious terrorist (Cage). He sort of becomes a clone of his enemy by plastic surgery. This operation enables him to infiltrate a terrorist group and therefore....well you'll have to see it. The major problem is that the terrorist (whose face he borrowed) comes back to life after a coma and has his own face "genetically stitched." A movie with lots of action and beautiful photography , originality, lots of technical displays on genetic manipulation and all sorts of interesting details. Don't miss it !
Starman - with Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen. A story about an alien being coming to Earth and taking the body of a young man through synthesizing his DNA. It is quite fascinating to see how John Carpenter, director of this film, visualized the cloning sequence and made it believable for a movie of the 1980's.
The Fifth Element - with the very famous Bruce willis
and the newborn star Mila Jovovich. There's an amazing scene about cloning
in this one! Watch when the scientists recreate the whole body of
a very beautiful young lady from just the remains of a hand, the rest having
been destroyed by a terrible space explosion. This whole action movie
is worth seeing over and over again just for the beauty and creativity
expressed in that scene: a machine pin-pointing the exact DNA structure
of an individual ( and a very perfect one at that, hear the
engineer's comments . . . ) and building every bit of bone, tissue,
muscle, blood vessel, skin, hair and all with the basic elements needed
for the
creation of life.
Resurrection of Zachary Wheeler - starring
Bradford Dillman, Leslie Nielson, Angie Dickinson, Jack Carter and James
Daly. It deals with cloning humans to provide perfectly DNA matched
organs for transplant. The film
was made in 1971.
The Creator - from 1985 staring people like Peter O'toole and Mariel Hemmingway. It's about a man who is attempting to clone his dead wife. A really good movie.
