Bad Movie Monday: Starcrash
My
first entry for Bad Movie Monday is the Star Wars rip-off Starcrash.
The film was released in 1979, two years after Star Wars, and was directed by
Italian b-movie all-star Luigi Cozzi.
The movie stars the David Hasselhoff, Chistopher Plummer, Marjoe Gortner,
Joe Spinell, and Caroline Munro.
Highlights: A robot that speaks with a Texas drawl; Torpedoes
filled with men which are hurled through space and crash through windows of
the powerful space weapon known as the Death Star Doom Machine;
Count Zarth Arn's (Joe Spinell) hair style (pictured); Akton's (Marjoe Gortner)
afro; David Hasselhoff!; The Emperor of the Galaxy's (Chistopher Plummer) non-sensical
speech at the end of the movie.
Best line: Spaceship, halt the flow of time!
