starcrash (1978)


aka Female Space Invaders. The Adventures of Stella Star.
"Circuits don't fail me now!"
Whilst on the run from the imperial police two smugglers (Marjoe Gortner and Caroline Munro) pick up a castaway. He is the only survivor from a mission to destroy the evil Count zartham's latest superweapon. The smugglers are soon recruited to complete the mission, and also rescue the Emperor's son. A normal days work for your friendly space smuggler.
A cheap but fun rip off of Star Wars meets Buck Rogers, if produced using Ray Harryhausen as special effects consultant. And being Italian it features rather more scantily clad women, especially Caroline Munro, who spends much of the film in the most essential of space clothing, black leather bikini and thigh boots!
