Quite a few films made that year featured this gimmick, including this one, Jaws 3, and Metalstorm.<br />It then fell back out of favor again until the late 2000's.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07762842923559447849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-42684847114799676942017-06-01T14:43:49.660-04:002017-06-01T14:43:49.660-04:00I just watched this movie on Blu Ray last night fo...I just watched this movie on Blu Ray last night for the first time since the mid-80's, and it was MUCH better than I had remembered it.<br /><br />Thankfully, Columbia leased this movie to Mill Creek Entertainment who delivered a descent, if basic, budget Blu Ray release. I doubt this movie will ever get anything close to Special Edition home video release, but at least we got it in HD.<br />Flopsy T.

The scenes on the planet look very Road Warrior-like and the fat men look great. The outer space scenes aren't that good look by outer space special effects standards at the time, but they definitely have a great deal of charm to them. Besides, practical effects (even when the budget isn't huge) always run circles around CGI effects. I wish there was more information on this movie as I really like it a lot. Sure Jedi may still look great, but there was SO much wrong with it (as you listed above).

I didn't care for the car (funny auto) or whatever it was. It did have a road warrior feel to it, which bothered me a little, though a fun film overall, and Ringwald was the one that stood out to me.El Voxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985563041511492981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-81246206088216675882010-07-19T09:06:33.551-04:002010-07-19T09:06:33.551-04:00Are they missing any limbs?
