I've not seen it, but it's
available through Warner Bros Archive Collection, and is manufactured on-demand. And it looks
magnificent. A utopian society that toys with genetics creating mutants that turn on them?
Sold. Apparently Italy makes the best sci-fi films of a certain era/type/quality. From WB's product page:
It’s groovy to be a spaceman! The way-out ’60s meet the far-out 21st century in this psychedelic sci-fi head trip. Villains from überpowerful The Corporations think they’d found a way to defeat their rivals, the United Democracies: send robot minions to kidnap UD citizens, shrink them down to suitcase size and transport them to a planetoid for hideous human experiments. But a fearless rescue team is on the way! All that stands between the rescuers and success are four-armed androids in wraparound shades, martial artists wearing silk nighties and sporting sky-high hairdos, flying saucers swinging around the cosmos on strings like interplanetary yo-yos and more mod malevolence. It’s all wild, wild fun and fantasy, brothers and sisters!
That's an incredible amount of copy, considering how little is officially out there:
