Science Fiction Fans, I Give You....

By the way, the film "Star Crash" that started off this thread can be found on DVD here...apparently it's also known by the title "Female Space Invaders," haha.

$18.22 ain't a bad price for such a cheesy classic! I may have to spring for it sometime soon!

If you do end up seeing it, I take no responsibility for those 90 minutes of your life that you will never get back.

I've seen "Pootytang". I am well trained in the art of wasting 90 minutes.

Ah, I see. Well, in that case I think you'll find that "StarCrash" is far superior to Pooty Tang. Star Crash has Space Babes AND The Hoff!!

Speaking of Space Babes:

None of the YouTube on-screen boxes are working for me now (as in not even showing up at all!)...

Even more "Star Crash" fun... here's a compilation of three fight scenes from the movie featuring the lovely heroine "Stella Starr" in full on butt kicking mode... and The Hoff makes an appearance in the third scene as well!!

Bump....

Dang it, dang it, DANG IT!

I guess I probably should've jumped on a "Star Crash" DVD when I first started this thread last year... but at the time I had heard whispers of a possible new double-feature DVD coming, which would've paired it with the similarly howl-arious "Galaxina" starring the late Dorothy Stratten -- unfortunately, it looks like that DVD release isn't happening any time soon...a couple of DVD-geek sites I've visited seem to indicate that it has been permanently delayed, due to rights/ownership hassles.

Shoot. Now, of course, previous DVD pressings of this mess-ter-piece seem to be commanding ridiculous prices since they're all out of print as well. Ya snooze, ya looze, I guess.

...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.

That... was... AWESOME!! I NEED to get this on DVD.

You and me both, boss. You're in Europe aren't you? Then you might have an easier time locating this on DVD than I have thus far... apparently there's a Region 2 (which I believe is Europe, isn't it?) DVD that turns up quite regularly when I Google search for this flick. U.S./Region 1 DVDs are harder to come by.

Yeah, I read it was released in France on DVD. There's also supposed to be another American DVD release coming out soonish.

Man, I can't wait to watch this with a couple of buddies and a whole lot of beer.

If you're talkin' about the rumored double feature DVD with Dorothy Stratten's "Galaxina," that appears to be dead for the time being...

Latest scoop has it that "Starcrash" will be released on DVD this August as part of Shout Factory's ongoing roll-out of the Roger Corman library... coooooool. I may finally get to re-experience this one again after all. It's been 25+ years.

You gotta love that poster...it manages to ripoff both Star Wars & Battlestar Galactica...and evidently, an armed stripper in kick ass boots.

I have probably seen this at some point, willing to check out again just for Caroline Munro (boing!).

Yeah... oh yeah! I'll definitely pick this up. This'll work just dandy with a couple of buddies and a ton of very cheap beer.

It's a good effort, for sure. I saw Star Crash on video about ten years ago.... great fun! I do actually own Krull on DVD -it gets a lot of flak but I enjoy it anyway! There were a number of films that rode on Star wars coat-tails, pretty much all of them were awful

Krull was another movie I saw in the theater....

...and let's not forget...

I had, actually. Thanks for reminding me!

"Spacehunter" was kick-ass! Michael Ironside was great as the Darth Vader ripoff "Overdog"

Dont forget Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension!

How'bout this one?

That would be "Stella Starr," played by Caroline Munro (meeyow). She's kinda like Han Solo dressed as a hooker.
