Capitalizing on the mega-success of STAR WARS a year earlier the Italians started pumping out their own much more cheaply done versions of the space opera. Without fail they're all pretty stupid and silly time-wasters watchable by only the most non-discriminating shitty movie fans.
This one might have been one of the 1st made and it stars Caroline Munro, who did a couple of Hammer films and a James Bond film previously, and, as the heroic Stella Star, she's probably the main reason to watch this as she runs around in a bikini and other more ridiculous outifts throughout the movie. If that's not enough though you also get David Hasselhoff and for me the weirdest thing is seeing Joe Spinell, star of the slasher flick classic MANIAC, as the main evil bad guy complete with absurd science-fictiony evil overlord outfits and a great goat-tee. Horrible acting, stupid Lite-Brite star FX, a supery hammy hero and everything you would expect from a dumb rip-off. Check it out if you can handle something extra ridiculous.
And just so you know this isn't even the stupidest of the Spaghetti STAR WARS rip-offs, that one is probably SPACE ODYSSEY which I used to own on DVD and have long since given away to make sure I never see it again.
Prepare to be hurled:
