Review of Starcrash

Starcrash (1978)
2/10
There is only one reason to watch this movie..
24 August 2013
and it is Caroline Munro, who is spectacularly gorgeous and scantly clad throughout the entire movie. As long as you focus on her, and ignore every other aspect of the movie ->the awful and sometimes out of place dialogue, extremely cheesy special effects (if you can call them that), etc, you will be fine. But should your eyes stray for even a moment (other then perhaps to eyeball the Amazon Queen - yes, you read that correctly, the Amazon Queen) you are doomed.

Its really that bad. In fact is it hilariously bad. Despite best efforts, I could not make it to the end. Caroline can justify many a fantasy, but the overall content of the movie is such that I suspect it will be impossible to sit through the whole movie unless you possess superhuman ability to absorb acoustic and visual punishment.

I believe Marjoe Gortner might have been stoned throughout his entire performance, he certainly acts like it. I bet that were you to approach Christopher Plummer about his role in the movie he would likely slug you. David Hasslehoff is very young, and actually babyfaced - almost unrecognizable to the person he is today.

I gave this a 2 vs a 0 only because of the breathtaking beauty of Caroline. I hope she aged gracefully.
