...The greatest bad sci-fi movie EVER made. Here's the trailer for "StarCrash," a 1979 Italian-made ripoff of "Star Wars" that simply has to be seen to be believed. I saw this movie on Saturday afternoon TV one time when I was about fifteen years old and it's haunted my dreams ever since. When I came across this trailer on good ole YouTube, I laughed so hard I nearly fell outta my chair and simply HAD to share.

But wait, there's MORE!! Here's a scene from the movie. Dig those oh-so-70s "futuristic" fashions! The hot sci-fi babe is noted B-Movie actress and onetime James Bond girl, Caroline Munro.

One more testament to the awesomeness that is "Star Crash." The guy fighting off a robot with a light saber is none other than DAVID HASSELHOFF of future "Knight Rider" and "Baywatch" fame... seriously, look it up on IMDB, it's really him. That guy could rock one hell of a white boy Afro back in the day!!

EDIT: OK, for whatever reason, the YouTube-Window-In-A-Post thingie wouldn't work for me in this one. Well, two outta three ain't bad I guess.

Pretty cool, but I noticed a typo at the beginning. It should read "You are about to HURL"

I can't believe how many clips from this movie are on YouTube! Here's a bad ass fight scene, with our hero (Marjoe Gortner, sporting another white boy Afro) battling an alien dude who looks like Uncle Fester from "The Addams Family"

I am almost tempted to say that I've seen that...

...but I'm not 100% sure. It sure seems like one of those late 70's / early 80's goofballs that my dad and I used to watch all the time on the weekends when I was a kid!

OK, shifting gears to something slightly better... here's the trailer to Roger Corman's classic "Star Wars/Seven Samurai" mish-mash, "Battle Beyond The Stars"... it may not have been the greatest movie ever, but it's "Citizen Kane" when compared to "StarCrash"... and what a great cast!!

"The Last Starfighter!" Aaaaaand...once again, the YouTube Window-In-A-Post feature fails me. Dang.

Yea, I'm bored and trolling YouTube for old B-movie trailers tonight. Any suggestions?

I love Krull! I just rented it the other week so I could pass the coolness on to the next generation. And, and.....I own The Last Starfighter on VHS!!!

Metal, Movies, Beer Number of posts : 37869 Age : 54

Good on ya Scott! I may have to track down "Krull" myself now that I've watched the trailer... it's been years....

Here's another oldie but not-so-goody... the sci-fi comedy "Ice Pirates," featuring Robert Urich... legend has it that this was originally written as a straight space adventure but the script was so bad that they re-wrote it and turned it into a comedy ...

Gotta love the way he says the line "His arm's froooooozen." lol!

I guess the third time is NOT a charm for the video code.

This one really does star Uncle Fester (Jackie Coogan).

It's probably collecting dust on some Pick-N-Save store shelf.

By the way, does anyone know if Mystery Science Theater 3000 made fun of this or not?

I used to own Mutant! And Critters is a great movie, imho. Now show me some "Starman"!

I'll look into some "Starman" next time I'm trolling YouTube. I'm sure it's gotta be up there somewhere.

I watched "Mutant" a couple of times and then unloaded it at a yard sale last Spring... I may have only paid a buck for it at the dollar store, but my wife priced all of our DVDs at TWO dollars apiece so I even made a profit! Smile
