Does anyone remember a film - early 90's I think - where a bloke stole some martian sand from wherever he worked and had a big glass tank in his garden shed with some of the sand in.

The sand had two rival martian "ant" things in it that made structures and replicated things dropped in like the blokes dog when it jumped in.

Anyone remember it or know what it's called?

Thanks,

Pat...

I seem to remember Steve Martin was in this one ...... could be wrong though

no I've just looked at his film list and he has never worked on such a high class production...

I am soooo glad I have never seen this

I remember this film too.....

Not that that helps. Can't recall the title either but I don't think it was a comedy. Pretty sure S Martin wasn't in it.

Hmmm.....

Is that the film with the bit where the creature is crawling up the inside of the mans skin heading for his old chap then then some greatest film lines of all time

"Dont take the leg"
"Its heading for his dick"
"take the leg! take the leg!"

"We'll go in through the anus, no time for lube"
"There's always time for lube"

Evolution was the film

Not Evolution no....

That was a quality crap film though...

No it's not evolution - which was on tonight in fact!

Steve (still can't get the film described above )

I remember an episode of "the outer limits" which sounds identical to your description. the two colonies of ants develop from mere nests to miniature civilisations which war and worship him as a god.

Aahhh, the outer limits is ringing bells.

Definately not a comedy either.

Off for a google hunt.

Good shot jlparsons...

Pat...

Good shot - found the bugger.

Been bugging me for years.

Now, what were torrents again ;-)
