As I've mentioned before, I enjoy Spacehunter. To me, it's among the last of 70s-styled space opera, and along with Return Of The Jedi, it marks the end of the Space: 1970 era in my mind. Here's a terrific 60 second television spot for the film, trumpeting the 3-D aspect of the presentation. "The first movie that puts you in outer space!"

Wasn't the whole idea with this movie was that it was the first in a series of films? I saw this in the movie theatre with those red/green 3D glasses uncomfortably perched over my regular glasses. Within 45 minutes, the cardboard glasses were digging into my nose. Haven't seen the movie since then, but remember the feature film debut of a pre-John Hughes Molly Ringwald.
ReplyDeleteHello Christopher-before I get into Spacehunter-WOW, what a great new face picture for your website. I enjoyed the previous one but this one is excellent as well. Also I appreciate how often you have been submitting new material at a breakneck speed. I remember seeing Spacehunter at the movies and enjoying the classic red and blue lensed 3-D glasses. As were most 3-D films of the time the 3-D scenes were few and far apart. However I did enjoy the film and have seen it many times as it shares a spot among my video collection.
ReplyDeleteI really need to get my hands of this film again.didnt Krull come out this same year 1983? its not straight Scif Fi but Sci Fi Fantasy love that film too
ReplyDeleteI really love Spacehunter. I went through a memorabilia phase with it and have the press kit, posters, even a high quality tape of the original recording sessions for the musical score. It's a fun movie, and I love the dialogue between the two leads.
ReplyDeleteThis movie has a strange place in my heart. I had been in an awful car accident earlier in the day, and totaled my car. It was my last day of school as a high school senior, and a friend of mine took me to see this to cheer me up. I have no memories of the plot, probably because I was still a little distracted by losing my car and the fact that I was lucky to have survived. But I can still remember the 3D glasses and that Molly Ringwald was the best thing in it. But I mostly remember feeling glad to be out somewhere doing something, and not in a hospital.
ReplyDeleteI saw this at a 3- or 4-screen multiplex in Mexico back in 1983 and not since.
ReplyDeleteWe had a tiny theater down the street from us where you could watcha double feature for 50 cents. Most of these movies didn't make it there until after they had been out a year, and they didn't have 3D equipment, so everything was flat, but they showed all the great movies like Space Hunter, Metal Storm, Buck Rogers; all the movies a young needs.
