  1. This looks like a masterpiece of 70s cinema. I want to see it

  2. Even as a little kid I couldn’t deal with Marjoe Gortner in this one. He’s such a goofball in it.

  3. To be fair, Star Wars is a major rip off of most popular scifi at the time.

  4. The Italians _really_ understand when to add just a little more cheese to anything… 🙂

  5. I don’t know how I feel about this.

    I just don’t know

  6. I’m not knocking it, but it looks like a much older film than Star Wars. Star Wars looks old today, but compare it to it’s contemporaries (outside of 1969’s 2001: A space odyssey) and you grasp how amazing it’s production values for the time were.

    That being said, I love me some old cheesy B-movies thanks to Billy Joe Bob Briggs, Elvira, and above all, “Commander USA’s Groovy Movies”, my saturday morning staple from the early days of cable.

  7. How many laser sound effects should we use? ALL OF THEM!!!

  8. This movie rules. Highly recommend getting baked or drunk and watching it with or without friends!

  9. it made for fun episodes of MST3K and How Did This Get Made at least

  10. The trailer looked like there was the 4th battle lung with a lightsaber
