Frankly astounding Star Wars rip-off featuring the likes of Christopher Plummer, Caroline Munro, and David Hasselhoff; none of them talk about it much these days, funnily enough. The plot concerns an oddly familiar mixture of inter-galactic royalty, space smugglers, evil space stations, vaguely-explained mysticism and laser-sword fights; none of it makes a great deal of sense, naturally.

Much to enjoy here, obviously: my favourite bit is possibly Elle the robot sheriff, who is basically a hillbilly with a bucket on his head, although Zarth Arn and his Doom Planet are also highly entertaining. Impossible to take remotely seriously, of course, but in a sensible world you would say the same thing about many film and TV series which people take very seriously indeed. When asked why he made this film, Christopher Plummer explained it was because the studio was in Rome - 'I'll do porno, as long as it's in Rome,' he said. I suppose making Starcrash was a reasonable silver medal if there was no porno available.

The main guy claimed to be all about love but I didn't see it. He was an abusive pill/coke head who slept with anyone with a pulse. Basically was porn which would be fine if that's what was advertised. Extremely graphical real sex scenes. It was clear more attention went in to the sex scenes than the actual story which gave even more of a porn vibe. It had a terrible story line that jumped all over the place so you could barely keep up with what was a memory and what was supposed to be the present. Terrible acting especially from the girls.

If I had put it on expecting porn I would have rated it a bit higher but because it wasn't described as a porno I expected a love story with sex scenes but not actual sex from the opening scene. Even the trailer on here portrays it as a love story with the usual movie sex scenes.
