Did anyone watched the scene edits for GOT people were making?
They were intersting at the least. There was early editing on YouTube but then the one Japanese guy started to make editing. Most won’t adjust the sounds to the scene but as he learned the editing skills he did adjust a bit better. Sadly most are lost to the time of the internet. You can sometimes finding the edits on other sites but some of the best are lost. His one which was variation of #3 he made a good humping scene of her using the pre rape part where she push up on the maggot. It was nice. Also looks like lost is the Alien Rape edit which use a Ero Ninja tentacle sex scene to mix in with Giga JAV vore to give an early concept where the worm ate her or was going to eat her after it finish sex with her.
One good lost media was one the early Dameia sex scene with a human before they get to the planet. Talking to crew members it was bizarre about it. It was on the DVD where the editor guy thought it was between her and Cabern but he was in relationship with Alluma. Bringing up to crew members and Taaffe at a convention appearanced, she said there was something mentioned early on before signing on of the sex scene that involved her character. Then she heard the sex scene was the tunnel involving another character. Inside the script the Alluma tunnel involved her clothing melting off from a liquid and alien hands and tentacles molest her. Well she couldnt not do that so we saw the scene changed to now the maggot one. That one just moved her shirt being torn open and beat and clawed up but the maggot legs and then she is eaten by it. With the maggot having hallow inside for operation crew men she was going to slide in through the mouth and inside the tunnel. She thought it would be cool to end on her boots sticking out the mouth. Then the scene change to rape scene and the fight with her agent over nudity in it. Roger have in his mind she has sex with a crew man, thought to be Ranger after her introduction to him in the ship quarters. Or she might have been placed what she was doing when she got the call for the mission. It was mentioned she has a fear of sex which could be the case. Her take on why sex was use in her death was part of her character psychology. The Dameia character was not a bimbo or dum dum, she was the tech chief, a strong independant woman which was very hard to find in roles of the time. My friend joked with her that with all the deaths at one point she would have been the captain on the ship by chain of command briefly. She thought and laughed and said just briefly she probably was. But she said she was a strong woman in the federation, high ranking official and skilled in many other jobs. Plus she was nearly a 6 feet tall blonde attractive woman that intimated men. She was very in touch with her sexuality, she was maybe afraid of not being satisfied or getting enough. But her thoughts on the scene changed when she standing in front of the maggot and it was starting to attack her, that this strong woman was being torn down and the touching was turning her on despite the thing she feared the most was doing it. She got into the psychological tones of the scene and thought it was hot and change her mind on the nudity. She said if a normal sex scene existed it was only in Rogers head and he should told somebody but it would have went good with the line Baelon said to her.
So I don’t know which edit maker make this scene but it is lost to the time. It start out with her thigh seatbelt for Ranger when he gets up and says tech chief? Then it cut to the Forbidden world scene with the blonde from there and the troubleshooter. It worked well cause the guy was wearing the same Galaxy of Terror uniform. There was a generic porno girl moaning dubbed over it. He has it listed as Galaxy of Terror Regular sex scene and full GOT Dameia sex scenes which had this one and some various leading to the maggot rape. Did anyone save it? I start recently playing along with my ai arts and doing film editing. I look at the FW scene and would be hard to do editing all the cuts plus I’m not good with sound mixing yet. I make a post on it using pics but it worked out great for making an extra sex scenes off old footage. -

There's so many stories and controversy about this scene. I think that's what makes it stay in people's minds. What really happened. It feeds some of our depraved fantasies just like the scene. I can't imagine that the fact that it was fantasy made it any less real having to live out a sex fantasy while men inside of a giant fake mechanical worm and molesting you even if you gave consent. It's still to bad that they didn't have a full unedited scene available to show people. I bet that would have sold a lot of copies to cult classic movie fans and pervy people that like Hentai kind of adult content. This scene could be taken with AI video to video and added to.
Did anyone watch the 4k DVD? I have it, but haven't bothered to get a blue ray player that can read it. No one has said if the details of the scene are any better. I'd imagine not unless there was AI to add in the missing detail after it's up scaled.
It would have been interesting if she had been in a rape scene with the guy that she was having conflict with though a scene with. Robert England could have been interesting as well though.
The dialogue wasn't the greatest in this movie. The Dameia worm scene is the biggest draw IMO. -

The 4K is nice but it seem to restore the movie to very dark look, almost like when I watch vhs version, it’s that dark levels. There also seems to be a very blue or green constrastings and tones to scenes.
There’s some weird thing too in the Maggot scene where one scene the maggot looks different than in another scene the colour looks more speckled or splotchy detail on it. Contrasts seem really strong in the red monster and blue zombie fights. Other than that, the ship scenes look really nice and detailed.
The film has big strong casting of people who become big icons in horror films later on. Also amazing set design and FX by people who become big in the field including the one big guy. The worm scene is the one that stole the show though. Nothing else like that has ever been done. It’s become common things now in adult video markets and stuffs like adult or hentaicomics here in Asia with Japan probably supplying most of it. To think such a thing was done in America in 1980 was insane.
There was that stuff that came out in the making of documentarys about Roger wanted the Dameia character to have another or more regular sex scene. The actress said in interview that she found out much later about that and it must have only existed in Rogers mind since he never said anything to her. It’s theorized it might have been the Robert Englund Ranger character since he was her underling, it would have been more of a dominating theme. Since being dominated was part of the maggot scene, that theme or kinky makes sense for her. Beside the part where she use her legs as seatbelt for Ranger is a bit sexual and the part where the Baleon character scold her. Thats the only parts that really lead to her having strong sexual fantasy or desire and why the worm scene went that way. I did think maybe her and Baleon maybe have sex before or it could be takin as he knows of her slutty activity or not getting enough sex and despite her for it. Too much is cram in the short time of the movie. Then there were the fanfictions that add some things, especially that one that add more sex in it. Dameia have sex with Ranger after meeting in the trip to the planet, which was not fast like movie. Then someone made a cool edit using the sex scene from Forbidden World.
I have enough idea scenarioes for making art of alternative Dameia scenes but now Evil Ranger maybe helping the maggot or joining in gives me another idea to try to make art for. -

The maggot scene is great.
This was actually starting to happen in Japan during the 80s and 90s. There was a concept in JAV called where the mask of the civilized woman falls and responds to the touches of the body. There was a whole culture of directors in Japan that focused on capturing women's emotions when the mask dropped and the body takes control in the 80s/90s/early 2000s. The concept can be very intense for some and unsettling to others. For me seeing the societal mask of the body drop and the body take over getting stimulated and orgasmic wildly is kind of arousing from a fantasy power dynamic perspective. It removes the things people are brought up with about proper society and shows the animal that we all are underneath.
However, the tentacle scene with the giant maggot seems to have been something new in movies. The 70s seemed to start a period of time that got away from more conservative values concerning sex. There period lasted until around 2015 with the metoo movement. However, it still exists in subculture through fantasy art that is often being generated by AI or done with 3D models.
"Whether for research or simple curiosity, you’ve stumbled upon a surprisingly deep rabbit hole of art history. The short answer is yes. While the 1981 film Galaxy of Terror is a cult classic for its sci-fi horror take on the trope, the concept of "tentacle erotica" (or cephalopod-themed art) has a long, cross-cultural history that predates modern cinema.Japan: The Historical Roots
Japan is the most famous source of this imagery, largely due to a specific artistic genre called Shunga (erotic art) from the Edo period.
- The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife (1814): This is the "patient zero" of the genre. Created by the legendary artist Katsushika Hokusai (the same man who painted The Great Wave off Kanagawa), this woodblock print depicts a woman entwined with two octopuses.
- Cultural Context: In 19th-century Japan, this wasn't necessarily viewed through the lens of "monster horror" as it is today. It was often considered playful, strange, or even auspicious.
- Modern Evolution: The transition into modern hentai occurred in the late 1980s, largely as a creative workaround for Japanese censorship laws. Because depictions of certain anatomy were banned, artists used tentacles as "organic" stand-ins to bypass the censors.

The Rest of the World: Myth and Pulp
Outside of Japan, the "tentacled monster" trope was usually rooted in maritime folklore and pulp horror rather than direct eroticism, though the subtext was often there.
| Era/Source | Nature of Imagery | Examples |
| — | — | — |
| Ancient Mythology | Monsters like the Scylla (Greek) or the Kraken (Norse) were often used to represent the "devouring" nature of the unknown sea. | Classic pottery and Renaissance sketches. |
| Victorian Gothic | Tentacles began appearing in "creature features" and dark Romanticism, often symbolizing loss of control or "corrupting" nature. | Early illustrations of giant squids (e.g., 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea). |
| Pulp Magazines (1920s-50s) | This is where it gets closest to Galaxy of Terror. Magazines like Weird Tales often featured "damsel in distress" covers where women were threatened by tentacled aliens or eldritch gods (Lovecraftian influence). | Covers by artists like Margaret Brundage. |
—Why Galaxy of Terror Stands Out
The scene you're referencing in Galaxy of Terror (1981) was a pivotal moment because it moved the trope from suggestive pulp art into graphic practical effects.
While Japanese Shunga was explicit, Western media had generally kept the "tentacle monster" as a metaphor for peril. Galaxy of Terror (produced by Roger Corman, with production design by a young James Cameron) broke that seal in Western sci-fi by making the subtext very literal and very dark.Note: Much of this history is studied today in "Monster Theory," which looks at how different cultures use strange biology to represent psychological fears or desires."

Corman had a prior scene that was the precursor to the Galaxy worm scene, that being in "Dunwich Horror." (1970) It's done very quickly, only in flashes, and the colors change throughout, but if you slow it down, a Cthulhu like creature attacks a young woman as she enters a room, and its mass of almost snake-like tentacles begin to strip her naked. By th end of the scene, she's at least topless if not fully naked, she's thrown to the floor on her back, and it descends on her as the scene ends with her screaming.
Sound familiar? Corman apparently had this idea floating around in his head for some time.
