Starcrash

Starcrash (1978. color. Mst3k season 11 ep 6). Hasselhoff! Plastic spaceships! A robot with a big metal penis-head that talks like Yosemite Sam! This movie has everything! (That really felt like a Stephon bit from SNL.) There’s some stop motion bike chain robots (very Jason and the Argonauts). There’s a dude named Akton who looks like Bob Ross dressed as Michael Jackson in the Thriller video. He has special powers that are never ever explained. His copilot looks like any of a number of Prince protégées. Like Vanity or Sheena Easton in video for Sugar Walls. I realize she is Caroline Munro but this is the first movie I have ever seen her in. Hasselhoff hasn’t even shown up 48mins into episode. This is such a stupid funny movie. The bad guy is Count something and he looks like he’s from the Flash movie with the Queen music (I never saw that movie). Akton has a light saber. I love this one. It was my original favorite of season 11. Jerry Seinfeld stops by in a host segment. It’s of no consequence. Fun movie. What the hell is Christopher Plummer doing here?  Oh right; he's the Alec Guiness of this.  Kinda like Lords of the Deep. This is sillier and funnier. If it must be a movie more current than 1970, than these are the types I like best. This count with the cape has a Manos vibe. He looks like count chocula. The ending is stupid, but I guess the whole movie is as well. Top tier, mid top tier.
