Starcrash
Stacrash (1978) starring Caroline Munro, Marjoe Gortner, David Hasselhoff, Christopher Plummer
Editorial review of Starcrash courtesy of Amazon.com
Is there anything Starcrash doesn’t have? Robots, hyperspace, troglodytes, Caroline Munro in a space bikini, “reality” star Marjoe Gortner as an alien, a pre-everything David Hasselhoff, and–most incredible of all, under the circumstances–a terrific score by the great John Barry. This jaw-dropping 1979 Star Wars knock-off is something of a cult item, prized in equal measure for its anything-goes visual attack (the universe glitters with Christmas-tree lights) and its ludicrous dialogue and acting.
