Review of Starcrash (1978) by Robert I — 06 Feb 2016

There's some movies that are so pure and honest in their creation. They are amateurishly made, but done with such love you can overlook all the bad to see something truly special and unique. Such is "Starcrash". Lovingly made as a tribute to space epics and adventure films, "Starcrash" ended up being one of the most original screenplays ever written and introduced the world to the modern feminist heroine archetype. Absolutely flawless for what it is and aspires to be.

BTW, this review is having seen the uncut European version. I just tried watching the blu-ray Shout! Factory put out and it is nigh-unwatchable after having seen the real version.

Before seeing:

I don't know why every spaghetti space opera looks like "Flash Gordon 1980", but I like it!
