Overview
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The movie's title sequence story (Soft Landing) begins with an astronaut named
Grimaldi descending through Earth's atmosphere in a futuristic automobile based
on a 1960 Corvette.
This leads directly into the film's framing story (Grimaldi) when he arrives at
his home, where he is greeted by his daughter. He shows her something he brought
back: a green sphere. Shortly after he reveals it, the orb rises out of its case
and painfully melts the astronaut. It introduces itself to the terrified girl
as "[the Loc-Nar], the sum of all evils." Looking into it, the girl sees how it
has influenced society through time and space. The Loc-Nar forces her to watch
several stories.

Overview
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upon discovery of a shard of what could be the Loc-Nar (the evil orb/glowing green
ball of doom from the original movie), a miner named Tyler (voice of Michael Ironside)
becomes possessed by an insatiable hunger for power and a thirst for immortality. On
his way to a planet which has a fountain of immortality, Tyler makes a pit stop at
a planet designated F.A.K.K.² (Federation-Assigned Ketogenic Killzone) because its
inhabitants carry some immortality water in their bodies. Tyler abducts a few people
and kills the rest, but misses one: Julie (voiced by B-movie queen Julie Strain who
is also Eastman's wife). She is described by Tyler as "a 6-foot bitch with a talking
rock", the sole survivor enraged by Tyler's careless rampage. She vows to avenge her
family and kill Tyler before he reaches the fountain—unaware that her sister Kerrie
(Sonja Ball) is actually still alive. She is aided by a mysterious alien named Odin
(Billy Idol), Zeek (a.k.a. the talking rock) and reluctantly by Germaine, a former
member of Tyler's highjacked crew left abandoned after he attempted to protect Kerrie,
Julie's Sister.
