| | Pedal clonus |
| | Clonus is another thing and basically means that foot shakes rhythmically on reflex testing. | | | Sometimes as we all age, we get a little neck arthritis which can cause active reflexes or mild clonus, but if no other problems or exam findings exist, no further workup is done. | | | As for your mixture of the above medications (especially Xanax and alcohol, you should alays be cautious, but it is probably unrelated to the reflex changes you note |

| | Monsters At Play: Clonus Review |
| | Clonus, which has been re-mastered from its original negative, is presented here in its 1.66:1 aspect ratio with anamorphic enhancement. | | | The questions it does raise about the nature and value of human life are good ones, they just aren’t numerous enough or addressed with enough adequacy to make for a truly satisfying experience. | | | There are too many plot holes, too many little things that don’t add up, and not nearly enough interest generated to really make Clonus worth a viewing, which is kind of sad since it did seem to have potential. |

| | Hypertonia, clonus , & spasticity |
| | Clonus is a reflex that is a spasmodic alternation of muscular contraction and relaxation., usually seen in the calf muscle reaction when the foot is sharply bent upwards towards the thigh and held in mid position | | | Spasticity is directly related to the speed of the stretch placed on the muscle. | | | Perisistant clonus can interfere with putting shoes on and can be stopped generally by putting the calf muscle on a end range stretch. |

| | the agony booth : PARTS: THE CLONUS HORROR Review |
| | The reaction to my first review was muted, but I got a lot of positive feedback about Parts, most of it from people who had seen this movie featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000. | | | Needless to say, our current subject, Parts: The Clonus Horror, does not handle this concept well. | | | After Richard makes his escape from Clonus, he stupidly risks life and limb to go back for Lena, because they have the kind of real, lasting love that can only come about after a one-night stand on a camping trip. |

| | The first two-thirds of the story is told mainly from Richard's point of view. | | | A dream sequence offers the film's only really horrifying (and gory) moment, and Fiveson uses his background in editing to really make it effective. | | | Parts - The Clonus Horror is presented in 1.66:1 format in a 16:9 anamorphic widescreen transfer. |

| | Amazon.com: Clonus (1979): DVD |
| | Clonus (1979) aka Parts: The Clonus Horror has been vilified over the years, even given the MST3k treatment but, in its defense, as a sci-fi thriller, I didn't think it was all that bad. | | | Your comments can help make our site better for everyone. | | | If you strip it down to its core, I think the concept was ahead of its time, and still relevant, topical, and interesting. |

| | Parts: The Clonus Horror |
| | In that regard, it’s aged very poorly to the point where it does provide some unintentional comic relief. | | | This is a lengthy and comprehensive featurette that focuses on Fiveson’s life and specifically his work on the film. | | | The subject that the film deals with is probably more relevant today than it was when the film was made (and if you don’t believe me do a search for cloning, or read up on some of the current events taking place regarding stem cell research!) and the storyline handles the subject matter well. |

| | DVD Verdict Review - Clonus |
| | Don't worry, though, the movie is not an exercise in proselytizing. | | | Over-the-top adjectives aside, Clonus is not a horror film and, apart from a brief scene of a clone getting her head buzz-sawed, there are really no moments of "jaw-dropping terror." The reason I bring this up is not to criticize the quality of the movie. | | | The company's synopsis writing could use a little work, though. |

| | Parts: The Clonus Horror |
| | After escaping from Clonus and running through the desert, Richard finds the world outside is very different from what he imagined and his story less than believable. | | | Just remember that Clonus got there first and still has a great deal of merit if you're willing to meet it halfway; particularly effective is the eerie choral-themed music, whose presence over the Clonus scenes feels like some '70s educational film gone horribly wrong. | | | When the answer proves unconvincing, Richard does a little snooping with the aid of his beautiful girlfriend, Lena (Breen), and discovers the horrible truth: everyone there is a clone being cultivated for a sinister purpose involving politicians outside in the real world. |

| | The two leads, youngish Tim Donnelly and the younger beautiful Paulette Breen (in her big screen debut) are often criticized for not being strong enough leads, and being cast aside for being annoying or stupid and unsympathetic, which leads the film to follow in their footsteps. | | | He makes his way back, but leaves a trail of death, tragedy and destruction in his wake, leading to many deaths. | | | Within the complex are a large group of attractive young men and women, all dressed in shorts and t-shirts, running, biking, track and field, whilst being closely supervised by doctors and a leader called Dr. Jameson [Sargent]. |

| | Clonus |
| | The outcome of the story then ultimately hinges on whether our heroic clone and his friends can survive the many challenges presented by a shadowy and vindictive government and if his story will be told to the world or kept hidden forever inside the classified clone campus. | | | It’s a period piece that truly could only have come out of the '70s, and the movie actually shows a fair amount of prescience in its treatment of the idea of cloning in general. | | | The director proves to be both personable and insightful, and these qualities also surface in the high quality feature length commentary that he engages in with MM’s Pete Tombs. |

| | the agony booth : ALL ABOUT THE ISLAND AND CLONUS |
| | If one could trace the history of Clonus, one would find that at the time it was made, many in the industry—including possibly some of the principles of DreamWorks—knew and saw the film. | | | Yet, amazingly, the original makers of Clonus (director Robert S. Fiveson, producer Myrl A. Schreibman, and screenwriters Bob Sullivan and Ron Smith) have been completely shut out, receiving no credit, no compensation, no anything. And that includes never being asked if it could be remade. | | | Anyone who's seen the trailer or a sneak preview and has also seen the film Clonus (also known as Parts: The Clonus Horror)—a film which was shown on CBS, the Sci-Fi Channel, and even Mystery Science Theater 3000—knows that the plots are way too similar to be mere coincidence. |

Schreibman. | | | In both movies, a male resident goes on the run when he discovers that the promised land is a lie, and that he's part of a colony of clones being grown to harvest their organs when the rich human originals ail. |

| | MST3K Review |
| | They all seem rather naïve and constantly talk about getting ready to “go to America.” Of course, when one of them graduates to “America” we see him get taken back into a lab where some sort of surgery is performed on him that involves wrapping him in some plastic saran wrap. | | | So they help the clone get away from the people chasing him so he can head back to the Clonus Colony (which is probably the stupidest thing he could do since it’s exactly what the people after him wanted). | | | Richard also finds a videotape that conveniently explains everything at Clonus so he escapes to “America” on his own, leaving his new airhead girlfriend Lena behind. |
