Miami Golem

A humanoid fetus, cloned from DNA found in a meteorite and nurtured in a petri dish, is stolen from a scientific institute by industrialist John Ireland. Somehow, he will use it to control the world's financial markets. Beings from "ancient Atlantis" recruit a cynical TV reporter (David Warbeck) to recapture it. Warbeck joins forces with alien Laura Trotti (a.k.a. Laura Trotter) to infiltrate Ireland's laboratory fortress and steal the creature.

Except for shots of a disintegrating animal carcass, Sergio Stivaletti's special effects are laughable. The golem fetus looks like a slimy peanut at first, and later resembles Yoda's demented brother. Warbeck deserves a pat on the back for enduring the script, which calls for him to shoot down a helicopter using a teeny pistol and say stuff like, "It's not every day that I get to meet somebody from outer space."
