Please, anybody, help with the title for a sc-fi!

Quite a few years ago I watched a TV program devoted to horror / sci-fi movies dealing with aliens. There a number of extracts were shown from all manner of such films (including "Xtro"). One of them showed a man in a very large white room (perhaps it was inside a UFO). The man was attacked by some ball of steel that was flying in the air - as it flew towards the man, a kind of blade sprung from it, and as this ball was passing the man's head, the blade sliced a piece of man's ear off. Then it changed its direction and again flew towards the man, attacking with another blade. What freaky horror / sci-fi movie has these scenes? Does anybody know? I keep wondering for quite a while.

Thanks in advance.

The film in question is "Phantasm II"

I believe that poster is correct. Although all of the phantasm in the series use the creepy steel ball...it's a trip when it catches up to some one!

What's with all the Phantasm II references?

The same stuff (flying steel balls and white rooms and sliced this and that) all happen in the original from 1979.

Although the silver sphere was in the original Phantasm, the scene of the silver sphere cutting off the man's ear was in Phantasm 2.

The silver sphere is an iconic part of the Phantasm series, and just like the Cuda and The Tall Man, it wouldn't be a Phantasm film without them.

And I can't wait to see Phantasm 5: Ravager that's supposed to come out later this year.

How did I find out I didn't pass my piss test?
