A greedy corporation takes over the ailing Marwood Zoo, and installs a new manager who - in an attempt to increase profits - decides to get rid of all the animals, except for the 'fierce' ones. When the zookeepers complain, a new manager takes over, but he comes up with even more underhand ways of reducing costs, including replacing real animals with robotic copies.

Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe (1940)

It's up to Flash to save the Earth, as Ming the Merciless (from the planet Mongo) causes a deadly plague: the Purple Death. On Mongo, Ming uses metal robot soldiers called Annihilants.

Flesh Gordon (1972)

A soft-porn parody of the Flash Gordon serials, in which clothes are shed at the drop of a hat. The film features rapist robots.

Forbidden Planet (1956)

On the planet Altair IV, Morbeus the scientist has 'reawakened' the machines of the long extinct Krel.

Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster/Duel of the Space Monsters (1965)

Reilly, an android space pilot lands on Earth, in search of humans to 'stock' his dying planet. (Sound familiar ?). On landing, he's shot and goes temporarily haywire, but eventually partially recovers and - in a fit of guilt ? - destroys his companions and their spaceship. (The film has nothing whatsoever to do with Frankenstein, which does make you wonder how exactly the makers came up with the title.)

From Time to Time/Time Keeper/Le Visionarium (1992)

Having invented the world's first working time machine, the Timekeeper sends his flying robot Nine-Eye back in time. During his adventures, Nine-Eye kidnaps Jules Verne and meets H. G. Wells. (Shown as part of the Tomorrowland attraction Walt Disney's World Magic Kingdom.)

Futureworld (1976)

The administrator of Delos, a futuristic theme park, intends to take over the world by substituting lookalike robots for the world's leaders. At the end of the film, the administrator himself is revealed to be a robot. (A follow-up to Westworld.)
