All you have to do is incorporate canadians at every level of the production (which is why you have a rather young Nick Campbell, and Barry Morse in the cast and director George Mcgowan who directed several Littlest Hobo TV series episodes among others) and you have a low budget film that you can market. <br /><br />Never saw this.....but might want to track it down as it is Canadian....scott s.http://www.cheezepleeze.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-48938364208094803112010-11-29T13:22:35.076-05:002010-11-29T13:22:35.076-05:00As a nine year old, I liked the movie for the most...As a nine year old, I liked the movie for the most part. Sure, it wasn't up to the standards of the day, but back then we ate it up. I always felt bad for the hot chicks that got fried by the evil robots. ;) There are some clips on YouTube, but the hyperspace jump clip always makes me chuckle. It's good fun.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04157952529413529997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-74078416011550477072010-11-21T09:23:02.486-05:002010-11-21T09:23:02.486-05:00Great poster.
