#monsterdon In space, no one can hear you scream over the sound of the lasers.

@Taweret It's Pride Month.

#monsterdon #starcrash

#monsterdon For all the effort they put into the space-ships earlier in the film, it would have been nice to be able to see the enemy fighters.

wow this space battle scene almost has dramatic tension

#monsterdon

"More to the left! No, your other left.Your *space* left!"

#Monsterdon

i do respect that Star Star is a female ship captain

#monsterdon

There's some weird kind of new math going on here. #Monsterdon #Starcrash

don’t get too cocky out there kid! #monsterdon

BIG DREAMS: gigantic mecha-babe that stands guard of the beach
SMALL BUDGET: soundtrack performed by a single musician lazily going doot doot doot doot over the clay model one fo the production exec's kids made while being bored onset
#monsterdon

Run! Try to make it plausible that you can outpace a giant foil-wrapped amazon bot.

#Monsterdon

Power is up to full battle speed!

This script!

#monsterdon

We’re 30 minutes into this film, and I really don’t care about any of it.

And this theme sounds so familiar. What’s it from?

#Monsterdon

Okay, because military logic in this universe is more like guidelines, the space amazons (who serve the count) decide they need a giant silver fembot to capture the escaping duo, but spaceship comes to the rescue and knocks it over with lasers or something, and they escape.

Naturally, the giant silver robot has like... nipples? We needed a giant boobbot?

#monsterdon

@Taweret it's the haunted planets

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon
This movie is worth it just for this stop action giant robot.

Welcome to Amazon Air. We'll have a lovely flight among the Jewel colored stars.

I like that robots are powered by revenge
#monsterdon

Giant lumbering fetish robot is not interested in subtext #monsterdon

They've never been to this planet, but they know that the "amazons" have air fighters? OK.

#monsterdon

That death animation...

I just...

I can't think of words.

Like how did it suddenly end up on its side even?

#Monsterdon

Did they just whiz past the infinity stones?

#Monsterdon

Her outfit has the middle bits again?!

#Monsterdon #StarCrash1979

That is an Oscar-worthy death for the giant robot Amazon.

#Monsterdon #Starcrash

[spaceship wibbling throughout]

#monsterdon #starcrash

#monsterdon Robots with Texas accents. Assualtrons, I think this one might have influenced the Fallout franchise a little.

So, till no wwe have lousy fx, lousy robot, lousy acting and the main protagonists wardrobe bought in a sex shop.
#monsterdon

A giant badly animated fembot I can't even 🤣 #Monsterdon

when you don't have the budget for a proper uniform and just crumple a bunch of aluminium foil in there as filler

#Monsterdon #Starcrash1978

“Don’t you follow us now!”

Um, how many times has that line worked before?
#Monsterdon

the odd part is that this music sounds way more Black Hole than anything else from the era

#monsterdon #starcrash

“He’s here!” #monsterdon

The giant robot walks like a toddler wrapped in tin foil

#monsterdon

@caban4 They're wherever Jason and the Argonauts went to look for the Golden Fleece? #Monsterdon #StarCrash

"Amazons on horseback! I hope they're friendly."

No further comment needed.

#Monsterdon #Starcrash1978

did Harryhausen do these SFX

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon I love the robot's ability to identify Amazons with no context.

Like, he sees three women on horseback and just goes "Whoop! Amazons!"

He must be fun to be around at horse camp.

i feel like those lasers should have reflected right off the robot

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon robot guardian with metal tiddy

@Taweret I presume the two smaller robots are their children so yes
#monsterdon

Dang, I don't have lackadaisical running on my bingo card.

#monsterdon

@Taweret if they don't inflate like a beach ball i'm walking #monsterdon

I love the energy of carrying a tiny giant sword and then throwing it at someone before ever taking a swing. Tradition is not the boss of you, giant claymation fembot! #Monsterdon

She can’t run around the knife in the ground?

#Monsterdon

I feel like this entire section of the movie is just an elaborate Clairol commercial #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Please tell me the boobs are escape pods or cannons.

so is that bubblewrap insulation or regular aluminium foil?

#monsterdon #starcrash

@RobynGoodfellow Well it fits the theme of the planet

#Monsterdon

@Taweret lasers i hope #monsterdon

Would Star Wars be better with giant robots? Many people are asking this question
#monsterdon

Early super low budget Dr. Who has better fake giant creatures.

No, like seriously.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon I spent New Year's Eve 1989/90 in bed in recovery, because I spent New Year's Eve Eve doing more dancing and drinking with Nadia Cassini than I ever had in my life. Worth it!

I assume the boobs on the giant robot are functional

#Monsterdon

"My nephew can do stop motion animation, no need to pay those guys"

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon

Oh, some Harryhausen vibes here!!!

pretty guardian sailor moon! kill them! #monsterdon

STOP MOTION 4 EVER!!!

#Monsterdon #Starcrash

#monsterdon Doesn't count as nudity if it's robot boobies.

What purpose do boobs serve on a giant robot? #Monsterdon

idk why the giant robot needs a giant robot knife to kill a human and a small robot

#monsterdon

"L i didn't know you could survive hand to hand combat and aim accurately at short ranges" -things someone in a culture where robots are totally normal would say
#monsterdon

holy shit we going full kaiju now???? LET'S GOOOO
#monsterdon

nipplenuts ahoy!

#monsterdon #starcrash

Did they hire the team who did Clash of the Titans?

#Monsterdon

A robot with bewbs. Sure. #Monsterdon #Starcrash

is the giant robot southern too?

#Monsterdon

JET JAGUAR?

#Monsterdon #StarCrash1979

#monsterdon Quick! Awaken Godzilla to fight it!

I am upgrading this movie from WILD to WYLD.

#Monsterdon #Starcrash

Talk about a death glare, amirite

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Amazons? Where are they?

#Monsterdon captured by amazons? deliver us soon!

mmm strawberry jam
#monsterdon

@redrummy Sometimes we have plot. #monsterdon

@moira #Monsterdon #Starcrash

this might be the first time i’ve watched this film in this high of a quality tho #monsterdon

Giant claymation fembot! Itty bitty shortsword. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon Women throughout the universe wear heavy eyeliner!

#Monsterdon Have Ell (lol) fight Data. I need to see this.

#Monsterdon

Amazon leader's acting is objectively terrible, but SO MUCH BETTER than Stella that she sounds good.

I definitely think that if nothing else was, the robot was definitely dubbed over AFTER they were done shooting.

#Monsterdon

well, he's a decent shot, but this guy's no Murderbot

#monsterdon #starcrash

@nazokiyoubinbou Someone else said Stella Star got him back because he's her robot property, but I also think he's her supposedly excellent navigator needed for the mission. #Monsterdon #StarCrash

They painted the horsies!

#Monsterdon

We are go for #bechdeltest #monsterdon

What was that shuttle doing for propulsion?

#Monsterdon #Starcrash1978

@strangefour #monsterdon ikr she's got an interesting life story

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadia_Cassini

And now we're ripping off Clash of the Titans!!! #Monsterdon #StarCrash

Stop killing them you fancy robot!

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon oh come on, we were JUST getting to the lesbian prison scene!

How did they not get sued out of existence for this? The robot is nervous? The weapon is the size of a planet? #monsterdon

OH BUT THE ROBOT HAS A BIZARRE REDNECK ACCENT, NOT BRITISH, SO ITS FINE

No, not the mind probe!

#monsterdon

Wow even the battle choreography is so lackluster

#Monsterdon

on the planet of big tiddy babes who kick ass our policing culture is to just leave behind enemies once they fall down and stop moving for a second #monsterdon

space opera at it's finest, thank jah for space amazons!

#Monsterdon #Starcrash

When does Wonder Woman show up?? #monsterdon

There's some pretty spiffy eye makeup going on in this scene. #Monsterdon #Starcrash

I like how vicious the first Amazon was!

#Monsterdon #Starcrash1978

#monsterdon Don't do Venusian Judo on Uranus! ..

@paco you didn't capture how each of these lines took 30 seconds to pronounce #monsterdon

So Stella, the one being captured, is the only one who enters the Amazon fortress carrying a weapon....

#Monsterdon

Christopher Plummer info dump is a dramatically competent info dump!

(I assume he wasn't brought in at the last minute to replace Spacey again)
