The 2001 movie Repli-Kate is so many things: a ripoff of Weird Science, a comedy of cloning, and the only movie I've ever seen where Eugene Levy yells "PENIS PENIS PENIS" really loudly, over and over, for reasons I can't even remember. Here's a great scene where one of the gene geeks uses his amazing high-throughput sequencer to create a clone of a hot chick from some blood drops on a CD-ROM. Even the genechip whiz kid Michael Eisen, whom I know for a fact has watched this movie, agrees that this is the most thrilling representation of genetic engineering ever captured on film.

The 6th Day = Fail???
And Holy Crap, isn't that the guy from Psych?
@Mercurypdx: It is! You stole the words from my mouth! And now we've both admitted to the world that we watch Psych! Crap!
As a side note, Rule #1 of lab testing: Don't hire narcoleptics.
@92BuickLeSabre: USED to... I USED TO watch Psych. I jumped from that series about two episodes into season Two.
Also used to watch Monk, but the lost me there about three episodes after Sharona left.
And to keep in on topic, The Fly had MUCH a better "exiting pod through cloud of smoke" scene. :)
Spot On!!
Weird Science indeed! I was just waiting for Kelly Le Brock to step out of that capsule :)
Holy crap it's the guy from Psych!
@Mercurypdx: GET OUT OF MY HEAD.
@Jonn: Im in ur hed, sharin ur thawts n dreemz...
Obvious reason for Eugene Levy's lines: because Eugene Levy yelling "PENIS PENIS PENIS" is hilarious.
And if by "repli-kate", you meant a Slash of Guns and Roses fame, then ok. Because all that hair just says "Welcome to the Jungle".
@DrMathochist: No but there's an actual REASON, like in the plot.
The director of this movie (can't remember name right now) made a short, student film named "Fighting Eddie". The movie revolved around a young man who was trained like Pavlov's dogs to beat up Eddie (the New Year's baby of 1974) any time he saw him. It was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.
This one was surprisingly watchable. Especially the scenes with Kate who is more like a guy.
@engtech: Spoiler for "PENIS PENIS PENIS"?
@Mercurypdx: unfortunately, no.
But it does answer the question of what would happen if you dated a really hot chick who had the same interests as a guy.
