Stephen Boyd and Raquel Welch star in this 1966 sci-fi flick about a surgical team who is miniaturized along with a submarine and injected into the blood stream of an important scientist with a brain tumopr. The cast also includes Donald Pleasance, Edmund O'Brien, Arthur O'Connell, and Arthur Kennedy. The miniaturization only lasts for 60 minutes so they have that time frame to get to the tumor and laser it. Naturally some disaster occurs every ten minutes or so, turbulence, anti-bodies, white corpuscles, a surgical instrument dropped outside when they are in the ear canal, you name it. They escape at the end but leave the sub inside the patient. Wouldn't the sub ALSO return to normal size, thus exploding the patient's head open? Ah, Hollywood. Good special effects, though.
Follow Ups:
I had enough sense to ask my date what about the blankety blank sub in the guy's tear duct. She said its atoms weren't living and wouldn't unshrink. I asked her then why did they shrink in the first place. I still remember the blank look in her eyes......
I saw Fantastic Voyage in '66 when I was 11. The special effects were, at the time, just astounding. The problem with the abandoned sub aside the movie had a thoroughly original idea, something that's completely lacking in most of today's big budget SF pieces of shit ( Chronicles of Riddick , I'm talkin' to you).
but i'd LIKE to. I'm a huge Donald Pleasance fan, he's so good in everything he did.
