A GALACTIC ADVENTURE BEYOND YOUR WILDEST DREAMS!

A pair of smugglers manage to pick up a castaway while running from the authorities, who turns out to be the only survivor from a secret mission to destroy a mysterious superweapon designed by the evil Count Zartharn. The smugglers are soon recruited by the Emperor to complete the mission, as well as to rescue the Emperor's son, who has gone missing.

̶L̶e̶w̶i̶s̶ ̶C̶o̶a̶t̶e̶s̶ Luigi Cozzi gives us a fun space adventurer starring Marjoe Gortner, Caroline Monro and David Hasselhoff.

We watched StarCrash recently as part of our weekly bmovie watching ritual, and it was one of the better ones.

Clearly a feeble attempt at a Star Wars ripoff, the movie has surprisingly good production value, and the story makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Highly recommend!

Doesn't it predate star wars?

Star Wars was released May 25th, 1977

Filming for Star Crash began filming in October of 77.

Ah! My mistake. I'm sure this would be a much more known movie of it wasn't the case. :)

If you've never seen it, it's a trip for sure. Utterly horrible. Not even Christopher Plummer could have saved it. He admitted that his reason for agreeing to it was because he actually wanted to go to Rome for free. In his words "I'll do porno in Rome, as long as I can get to Rome."

The MST3K version is up on Netflix for the curious, though I recommend finding it unriffed first. It's pretty easy to find on Google.

There really isn't a point where it stops getting worse :-) Space-Cave-Men, Space-Dracula, Space-Bikinis, it's perfect.
