Starcrash Review

This review based on a DVD provided by the lovely folks at Diabolik.

Labelling Luigi Cozzi’s Starcrash simply a bad film does it a disservice. This film is a landmark in the history of bad science fiction, so gloriously ignorant of just how horrible it truly is on every level that it becomes transcendent. Put it this way: it is so fully in keeping with the general nature of the film that I am tempted to believe that the mis-spelling of David Hasselhoff’s name on the front cover of the recent French DVD release as David Asselhoff is entirely intentional. Or, to put it another way, simply keep in mind that Hasselhoff’s performance in a key supporting role is easily the film’s highest point.

is this the only legal DVD available of this flick?

Caroline Munro is the greatest aint' she? At the Earth's Core, Dracula A.D. 1972, Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter, Spy Who Loved Me, this and Maniac.

I met her in 1997 and she was still hot and still unbelievably nice to fan boys such as myself.

The best part of this pic to me? Marjoe Gortner goes sci-fi!

Sounds like a nice package. If there were English subtitles for the special features I'd be very tempted to pick it up.

The Horror, The Horror. I thought I'd blocked this picture out of my brain completely...! Damn you Todd!
