Producatori de filme intreprinzatori din SUA, cum ar fi Roger Corman, au cumparat filme SF sovietice si japoneze la preturi foarte reduse, si le-au re-vandut apoi unor regizori americani in ascensiune pentru a fi re-impachetate in filme noi de super-productie. Unele dintre ele au fost ,clonate' in mai multe filme americane SF, cum a fost cazul filmului ,,Planet of Storms" al lui Klushantsev, care a fost ,clonat' in trei filme SF americane diferite. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Citatul direct din Sursa: </p><p>,,And in 1962, Kazansky and Chebotarev’s charming The <strong style="color: black; background-color: #ffff66">Amphibian</strong> <strong style="color: black; background-color: #a0ffff">Man</strong>, a cross between Jules Verne and Hans Christian Andersen, became one of the biggest smash hits in Soviet history. Ironically, a great deal of imagery from these astonishing works did end up Western screens — albeit mauled beyond recognition. Enterprising U.S. producers like Roger Corman purchased Japanese and Soviet sci-fi films at bargain prices, and gave them to up-and-coming American directors (Francis Ford Coppola and Peter Bogdanovich) to re-fashion (via newly shot connecting narratives) into drive-in fodder. Thus Klushantsev’s Planet of Storms was the basis for not one but three new movies."</p>
