Name of a sci-fi film from the 1980s that opens with an astronaut being killed by an alien that takes the...
Another one of my long-shot questions, I fear. I only saw part of the film, but hopefully the scene I remember will be memorable enough someone will recall it and the film's title.
Plot Details/Summary
The film opens with an astronaut exploring the surface of a moon. I believe it is one of the moons of either Jupiter or Saturn. The moon has an atmosphere of some sort, and I recall rocky formations and I think a blue-ish sandy/icy soil. The astronaut is in his space suit. Both the planet and the spacesuit look fairly well done, from an F/X point of few.
At one point, the astronaut sees a stunning blonde woman walking the surface of this moon. I remember her looking very 80's New Wave-ish - bleached hair, heavy makeup, I'm thinking some sort of 80's club clothes outfit? The woman in question might be an ex-girlfriend of the astronaut's (it sticks in my mind he may have recognized her), or it may not have.
I'm not sure how long the encounter lasts, or if the "woman" is chased by the astronaut. I do recall the woman rips open the astronaut's suit or helmet, and he dies. The woman, who is apparently some sort of alien, gives the astronaut a curious look and I believe she kisses him before bolting off to wherever.
Timeframe/Details
I caught this one on Showtime, somewhere between the mid-1980s to very early 90s. I don't think it was an old film at the time. The effects looked contemporary, as did the appearance of the alien/woman. It was in color, and most likely an R-rated film. I don't recall either of the two actors, which may indicate this was a fairly low-budget flick, despite the decent special effects.
