Watch Starcrash For Free

Good start, but then it gets ruined

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

The best thing about this movie is that it's the first time I have seen Caroline Munro in a leading role.She usually plays the pretty lady who needs a man to save her but this time she kicks butt.Unfortunately everything else about this movie is stupid.The stars are being pursued by the space police(one of them has the worst green face make-up job ever and the other is a robot) for reasons that are never explained.So the police catch them and they are sentenced to a life of hard labor on different planets.Caroline immediately escapes and sees a strange ship land so she boards it.It turns out to be the police but they were coming to get her anyway because her sentence has been withdrawn because they need her help. At this point the police completely change.They go from mean and evil to friendly and campy. Pretty lame. David Hasselhoff was terrible as usual and weirdly, the guy who played the robot was named Judd Hamilton and the guy who did his voice was named Hamilton Camp.That's the coolest thing about this flick. It's not a good movie but I have seen worse. I gave it two extra stars for Caroline.

*Spoiler/plot- Female Space Invaders ('Starcrash') 1978, A pair of good looking space pirates get involved in a theft plot with the space emperor's son and a bad space nobleman.*Special Stars- Caroline Muro, David Hassleholf, Christopher Plummer, Marjoe Gortner, Joe Spinell.*Theme- Justice wins out every time.*Trivia/location/goofs- Italian, Had many titles. Caroline Munro is dubbed by Candy Clark. Caroline Munro's voice was dubbed for the U.S. version by actress Candy Clark, who was married to Marjoe Gortner (Akton) at the time. Only Marjoe Gortner, David Hasselhoff, Christopher Plummer and Joe Spinell have their own voices in the English-dubbed version of the film. Everyone else was dubbed by different people. The post-production funds for the movie were very tight, thus Caroline Munro and Judd Hamilton could not dub their own characters, as flying them in would be too expensive. Caroline Munro was originally going to wear a skimpy leather bikini outfit throughout the entire movie, but American studio executives insisted that writer/director Luigi Cozzi have Munro wear less provocative clothing in the second half because they thought the film would have problems being broadcast on network television. David Hasselhoff contracted food poisoning during the shooting of the movie; a production assistant had to fill in for Hasselhoff for a fair share of the scenes in which his character Simon's face is covered by a mask. Moreover, Hasselhoff did most of his own stunts and accidentally knocked out an Italian stuntman's tooth on his first day of doing stunts. The character of Akton was originally devised as a grotesque alien, but Marjoe Gortner refused to wear any heavy make-up.*Emotion- Lovely to see the homages to Ray Harryhausen and funny to see the low budget Italian Star Wars rip-off. Very hard to sit through because of the pedestrian plot and childish special effects. Real fun is the 'cheeziness' of seeing international stars doing their low-key performances in this schlock. Munro's role was toned down from bikini to some cover-up wardrobe near the film end. I think that was a bad move by production to get some TV airing.*Based on- Recently released Star Wars films.

I won't take too much time describing how bad this movie was. I think most people have already done a better job than I could describing the awfulness of this film. Bad dialogue. Check. Bad acting. Check. Bad special effects. Check. Bad rip off of Star Wars. Oh hell yes. The only thing of minor interest in this movie was that a very young David Hasslehoff appeared in it. Also....since Star Wars had Alec Guinness, the producers of this movie had to make due with the poor man's Alec Guinness...Christopher Plummer.I won't call into question the taste of the few who actually liked this disaster. They probably enjoyed Ed Wood movies too. This movie is a prime candidate for Mystery Science Theater 3K

If you want to see how bad this is, spare yourself the whole thing and just watch the opening scene. Watching the horrible actors manage flub the timing of their three-word sentences is a sight to behold.Funny? Absolutely! Watching the bad guy order his troops into combat with the stirring words of "Kill!" while they slide down the bat poles will bring a smile to the face of anyone. And that soundtrack, wow!Forget the nonsensical plot, terrible special effects and poor acting, it's got Christopher Plumber and a bunch of excuses for Stella Star to get attacked by the worst stop-frame animated robots in history. What more could you ask for?
