The original movie THE BEAST, made 5 years before this bizzarro Italian sort-of sequel/more of a nutty rip-off, was a classic mash-up arthouse film and bestiality-infused sexploitation version of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. This one sets things in space and the beast of the title here is really only half a beast since it's a guy with horse legs and a human(less hairy but still fairly hairy since he's Italian after all) upper half. Just like the original though there's a giant beast penis that makes an appearance. Sadly the DVD I have of this, the unrated director's cut version, doesn't feature that appendage at all so I guess you need the XXX version to see all the naughty bits. The weirdest thing to me overall is that this was made after STAR WARS yet looks like something made in Italy from the 60s. Director Al Bradley(Alfonso Brescia) did do a few other sci-fi films before this that are more in the STAR WARS-rip-off camp including this WAR OF THE ROBOTS one which is also not all that great but at least this one has the weird sex stuff, an angry giant robot and the sheer audacity to try and follow-up THE BEAST to make it at least somewhat passable.
