| User ReviewMarie B:fresh: :fresh: :fresh: :fresh: :fresh: [font=Comic Sans MS][size=3]I'm Highly recomending this one, not because it's a good one but because no matter how bad it is, you must see one of the greatest "Star Wars" ripoffs ever. It's got a spaceship that belongs to the evil space ruler, Zarth Arn:rolleyes:. It's shaped like a big flying hand. it's supposed to be a symbol of his grip on the galaxy and it can close up like a big fist. [color=red]This really is a movie. I'm not making this up.[/color][color=lemonchiffon] There's even a lightsaber. It's got a young David Hasselhoff, with big puffy hair much bigger than when he was on, "Nightrider" While flying really fast in a ship they get pulled over . . . . . . In Space!!!! But before they stop the pilot says "It's the Cops." If you can find it watch it ASAP.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=3][color=#fffacd][/color][/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=5][color=#fffacd]MUST BE SEEN TO BE BELIVED.:fresh: :fresh: :fresh: :fresh: :fresh: [/color][/size][/font] |
| User ReviewZach MRoger Corman's at his cheesy best with this 1979 Italian space opera that rips off Star Wars in more ways than I can count. It features Caroline Munro running around in a leather bikini, David Hasselhoff with an afro and laser eyes, and for some reason Christopher Plummer's in there somewhere. The stop motion effects try to imitate Ray Harryhausen (there was even a deleted scene with giant scorpions) with their stop motion effects, but they don't live up to the master's work. They're not bad, though. The opening theme by the late and great Bond composer John Barry is phenomenal, and really sets the tone for the entire movie. The film itself is a visual feast, with multi-color stars and spaceships zooming by, plus the poorly animated lasers. There's a southern gun-slinger robot (?) that many of the film's posters portray as the villain (he does look like Darth Vader), when he's actually one of the heroes. If you love cheesy movies and have yet to see the king (or at least one of the princes) of them all, owning the 2-disc special edition of Starcrash should be in your near future. The Sghout! Factory 2-disc release is phenomenal, with loads of extras like two audio commentaries, deleted scenes, interviews, still galleries, trailers, radio and TV spots, and more. |
| User ReviewTyler HFantastic Stellar Cheddar of the First Order! My second very favorite guilty pleasure (Numero Uno is is Death Race 2000). SC is Star Wars minus the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder of a certain director who will remain nameless. It is a manic and delirious bargain-basement delight of clutching-fist space-fortresses, bikini-clad space-amazons, flash-bulb adorned floating cities, and maniacal happy villains. I do so adore this terribly entertaining mess of a movie! |
| User ReviewZachary CThe ultimate 1970s space opera! Although dismissed as a mere Star Wars copycat by snobs, Starcrash owes more to Ray Harryhausen and Flash Gordon in terms of special effects and storyline. The stop-motion animation effects are on par with Harryhausen's (I liked the giant, sword-wielding robot and metallic drones). Caroline Munro is at her sexiest here in a black bikini-type outfit with boots and gives a typically good performance as the assertive, ass-kicking Stella Star. Marjoe Gortner gives an appropriately campy performance as lead hero Akton. Throw in a dead serious performance by Christopher Plummer, epic spaceship battles, a delightfully campy villain with an even funnier name (Zarth Arn), and a rousing music score by John Barry, and you have all the essential ingredients for a fun, late-1970s sci-fi movie. |
| User ReviewR.John Xthis movie is great because there are so many PEW PEW PEW laser beams. Plus whenever anyone, and I mean anyone, gets blasted there is a full blown sparky explosion that bursts out of them. Fantastic. I mean that is when they are not just turned into a green outline or disappear or simply fall over without any sort of sfx. Munroe is amazingly gorgeous, throughout this picture. But has very little to do once the "love" interest Hasslehoff shows up. Plus she starts dressing in a bit more clothing. Boo. Weird hodge podge of a story ripped from the 1950s serial world of Flash Gordon - where the episodic pacing and scene chewing Joe Spinell who yells things like KILL THEM as he frantically points and waves. There is a magic magician who can see into the future, make waves in his hands, and has other powers played by the flat faced ex child preacher Marjoe Gortner! Christopher Plummer stares dead ahead as he recites some of the most painful and idiotic dialogue ever. Plus there is a HUGE plot hole when the bad guy orders the planet weapon he just BLEW UP deployed against the people he thought he just killed, but blowing up his weapon planet. Oh and huge spoiler - the good guys secret weapon is plowing a space city into the bad guys a'la STAR CRASH. Dumb. |
| User ReviewJuan V5 stars b/c I'm enjoying the hell out of it and it has as many memorable lines as Star Wars. |
| User ReviewTobi WAny homage to Harryhausen is golden in my book. Made by a life-long Italian science fiction fan on a fifty-nine cent budget compared to today's special effects features who is really proud of this movie. I borrowed the deluxe DVD from my public library. Hope you do, too! |
