"Genesis II", the first film in the series, did not star John Saxon.
The lead here was played by Alex Cord; Saxon took over the role in
the second and third films. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name
of the third one, either. Random's evaluations of the movies are
appropriate.

In  the  second  post-bomb  movie (Planet Earth? with the Amazons -- who
were mentioned in the first movie) the bad guys  are  the  Kreeg.   They
reappeared in Star Trek -- The Movie as none other than the Klingons.

Summary: 

Ah, yes, I remember GENESIS II -- filmed on the University of
California at Riverside campus while I was an undergrad (just
dated myself, eh?).  I have fond memories of standing in a group
and cheering as the film crew "burned" down the Library....

Scenes for "BUG", a horrible version of THE HAEPHESTUS PLAGUE were
filmed in my apartment building.  One of my friends in Scientific
Illustration made all the foot-long plastic cockroaches.

What strange things one gets nostalgic about.
