Yes, I
know, you've probably seen this one before. But
I'm a sucker for space heroes with bad perms.
An obvious
cash-in on the Star Wars phenomenon, Starcrash goes as
far as to blatantly steal several elements from Lucas'
space opera. And the giant stop-motion animated
robots are clearly influenced by Ray Harryhausen's
famous special effects work.
In fact, Starcrash appears to be Star Wars meets Clash
of the Titans with added half-naked ladies. Star
Clash of the Tits? In all fairness to a low budget
production, however, the special effects in this trailer
do look pretty good by late seventies standards.
Germany's
favourite singer, the mighty David Hasselhoff, was
in this film but tragically doesn't appear in this
trailer. Disappointing.
Favourite
bit: The silhouette shot where the permed chap
activates his lightsaber and it makes a comedy "voooOOOP!"
noise. |
