They wrapped her back up in clingfilm, gotta keep her fresh after that stint in the freezer.

Robot chauvinism? Like no -vinism I knooooow♫

These cavemen studied at the Octaman school of martial arts.

Oof, poor Caroline, spending this whole scene nose-deep in caveman butt :/

Go on, follow Budget Kamen Rider.

"Oh this way looks safe"

WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT OUT LOUD WITH YOUR MOUTH

Foley artists getting a little overeager here hitting trash cans with sticks.

This movie doesn't resolve plot points, it just hands Akton a new power and goes, "Have fun, kid!"

"You must've known all along"

Yes, my smugness drives the plot.

"There's no way you could have"

The plot doesn't like you *nearly* as much as it loves me.

It's nice how the movie's got a Designated Exposition Character :/

FINALLY THE ROBOT GOLEMS

The most unbelievable part of this whole movie is that the Count hasn't twiddled his moustache sinisterly even ONCE yet.

You know who would make a great Dark Count Zarth Arn? Danny Trejo.

This movie provides 100% of your daily recommended allowance of PEW PEW PEW

Wow, Bionicle's lighter than I thought

HEY CHRIS! Thank god, here to get the movie back on track.

"Please get up."

"No, I must obey destiny."

Remember, trying to survive is illegal! Apparently >_>

"I'll live forever!"

Now just let me bleed out on the floor.

And Akton dissolves into a sine wave. Truly two-dimensional at last.

Chris here to show you amateurs how to say a stupid goddamn line with GRAVITAS.

Delayed planet explosion like, "Now? ...Now? What about now. ...NNNnnnnow? Look, I'm just gonna do it."

"If we succeed in this, we could save billions of lives."

...From what? The Doomsday Weapon just blew up, you clown.

The last 20 minutes of the film are just footage of these Micro Machines being thrown out an airlock.

Emperor does get a super sweet throne, though. I need a chair like that.

"No, we're not dragging the camera past a miniature for these shots. D-don't be silly..."

You can tell they're evil because their guns have bat wings.

I love those missiles so much.

Your enemy has big glass windows! In SPACE! For some reason? Do you want to blow them up? Pfft, what a stupid idea. No, you pack guys in torpedoes and SHOOT THEM AT THE ENEMY SHIP

They'll never see it coming! Because it's an intensely stupid idea!

"Kill! Kill!"

Faster, Pussycat!

I have no idea where any of these ships are in relation to each other.

...So about those windows open to space?

The mightiest weapon! The DOOM MACHINE!

And then he *actually says* "Huzzah"

STARCRASH! We have a title drop!

They're gonna jumpscare him to death?

...Is this their third scene together? Are they in love now?

Cactuar Joe

"Go now, quickly!"

Get this goddamn texan robot out of my sight!

See, the thing is, Elle would be a thousand percent more tolerable if he wasn't humanoid. If he were a little trashcan with inarticulate limbs and a hoverskirt his Texan accent and overconfidence would be *hilarious*.

Man, they greebled the FUCK out of that ship.

"I'll try spinning! That's a good trick!"

Shoutout to the bargain basement fireworks they blew the ship up with :D

"It's happened."

Me:

Yeah, Starcrash isn't so much a movie as a series of explosions molded into the shape of George Lucas's id. :D

Aaaaaah, what a *terrible* movie :D

That was great :D

My favorite thing about Starcrash is that the titular Star Crash is not in fact two stars crashing. It's the Imperial Pride Float using that timestop thing to get close to the hand ship and then unstopping time so they can *ram it*

It's a Star Crash because two Star*ships* Crash.

Which is like naming a movie VOLCANIC ERUPTION and at the climax of the film a high schooler pours a container of baking soda into a bottle of vinegar :P

Anyway I want a Starcrash remake where Stella is a disgraced noble from the Emperor's court using Akton -- who in this version is from an order of precognitives the Emperor uses to enforce the whole Defying Destiny Is Illegal thing -- to rob ships and disrupt the Emperor's enforced future.

Oh and stars should actually CRASH in this one >_>

@CactuarJoe they didn't even take the time to snap the model parts from the stems, they just glued on whole sheets #monsterdon
