Mamie Van Doren in Peter Bogdanovich's "Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women" (1968)

In 1998, after a meteor collision and a failed rocket launch to Venus, a team of astronauts led by Captain Alferd Kern and Howard Sherman, along with a robot named John, is sent to explore the planet. They land at the Space Station Texas, refuel, but become stranded on Venus. Six months later, a rescue mission headed by Commander William “Billy” Lockhart, Andre Ferneau, and Hans Walter arrives, but they are attacked by a pterosaur‑like creature worshipped as the god Terah by the local Venusian women. The astronauts fight the creature and survive, while the women use their powers to try to kill them, ultimately failing. John helps the cosmonauts survive the hostile environment. The astronauts eventually escape, and the damaged robot, left behind in volcanic mud, is adopted by the women as a new deity, completing a surprising twist.
