When the spaceship Vertigo stops to explore a previously unknown planet, the crew finds an unrecognized dollop of protoplasm and takes it aboard ship to return it to earth for analysis.
Director: Bruce Kimmel
Stars: Cindy Williams, Bruce Kimmel, Leslie Nielsen, Gerrit Graham, Patrick Macnee.
Joe Tremaine ... choreographer
Watched online, mediocre print.
3 songs in the Soundtracks, each done as a 1 or 2 person song and dance.
Kimmel also wrote/directed/starred in The First Nudie Musical ('76) with CW.
IMDb lists filming location as Cypress College, a junior college in California, 30 miles from H'wood.
For LN, Airplane! ('80) precedes this, the Naked Gun trio begins in '88.
For CW, Laverne & Shirley ended in '82.
The protoplasm grows to human size and consumes 3 of the 5 crew members after doing a song & dance translated by the ship's computer as I Want to Eat Your Face. CW & BK use their own song/dance to lure the creature into the airlock and send it out into space.
Rated 3.2 by 1.4k+ IMDb voters. The humor and the production are amateurish, worse than FNM. But it didn't succeed in annoying me, so I'll give it a 5. Good news: BK doesn't create another music/al.
