Caroline heard about acting once and she's really giving it a shot here. #Monsterdon

Whoa, lost control of my vertical hold there, sorry about that, I'm super tall now. Hold on, I can fix this... #Monsterdon

The emperor is good in this one, that's how you can tell this IS NOT STAR WARS DAMMIT

#Monsterdon

Nice bling Chris has there, Emperor's a pretty sweet gig. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon Regarding the robot: prepare for "comic relief"..

I actually think all robots should have that accent. How did we let that slip through the cracks of film history? #Monsterdon

I bet there's a star off crashing somewhere

(Counterfeit @Taweret content)

#Monsterdon

Excuse me, this is Starcrash (1978) not Laserblast (1978)

#Monsterdon

If the radiation is going to burn your skin off, why are you wearing a leather bikini?

#monsterdon

Okay. I kinda love the stop motion robots

#monsterdon

Alright - some classic stop-motion robots.

#monsterdon

Excuse me, my lord, do you bychance have six fingers on one of your hands? #Monsterdon

You think it's someone's job to polish those stairs? #Monsterdon

That's the craziest bubble mask on a space-suit I've seen in any movie. It's got some Barbarella vibes going there. I like it.

#monsterdon

@ottaross I read a lot of these points to my hubby. His response to this:

#SplendaDaddy - "No, there are lower career points than a Roger Corman movie."

Me - "What, porn?"

#Monsterdon

OMG - she's swimming through the thick vacuum of space.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon Flying away on a wing and a prayer.. who could it be..

Star Wars was so ahead of its time.

#monsterdon

I assume I have a 10% chance of making it through this movie. #monsterdon

Holy crap, John Barry did the music? He did Out of Africa and Dances with Wolves

#Monsterdon #Starcrash

You guys seem kinda close to those stars, watch out or you're gonna

crash

#Monsterdon

John Barry wrote this score in realtime as he watched the movie for the first and only time.

#monsterdon

EEEEEY, hey Chris :D #Monsterdon

Why is everything Lego colors

#Monsterdon #Starcrash

Oh sure, the Washbergers, I went to their potluck last Wednesday. They're takin' the camper down to Lake Woebegon next week. #Monsterdon

Red glowy things! I hate those!

@jonny

“If you thought the script was bad…”

I just shoved an ice pick into my left ear, then my right.

#Monsterdon

@jonny yeah seriously this is incredible

#Monsterdon #StarCrashDeletedScenes

So uh in this version Simon tells her he's the guy she was looking for so I guess later when she doesn't know who he is that would be even stupider

#Monsterdon

EXPLANATION FOR THE ROBOT COWBOY is all i needed!!!!! #monsterdon

I ship the evil count and Thor

#Monsterdon

Yes. The movie did actually need the line "Watch out you big broad"

#Monsterdon

no fucking shit did they actually have "amazons on horses!" in the actual fucking script #monsterdon

the confused look on Thor's face in this scene matches my own

#Monsterdon

man the parts of this movie that worked worked so well. that set is perfect #monsterdon

Best Scene?

The way Plummer delivers this is up there with Brain Blessed in Flash Gordon

@paco @ricci #monsterdon
But... but... I SAID "spaceship, stop time!" You mean that didn't work?

@ricci #monsterdon oooh thanks, lel, that must have been while I was getting a snack.

Roger Corman did know how to cut, apparently

#Monsterdon

@jonny no that was in there, Akton was very excited about it #monsterdon

@jonny on the origin of words see Sheidlower ed., "Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction" https://sfdictionary.com/ #monsterdon

@ricci @Lazarou @jivens "New groove." The emperor must always bring a new groove to the throne or face being overthrown by someone else who can.

#monsterdon #starcrash

@diazona @strangefour genuinely, it didn't have a wookie uncle cracking one off in front of the holo-television....

#Monsterdon

Extra scenes start ..... NOW

#Monsterdon

@floatybirb As @steggy said: they managed to both overact and underact at the same time.
#monsterdon

@strangefour Oh, the closed captions on @ryan 's stream kept spelling the robot's name "Elle" which I enjoyed along with the cornball Southern accent. #Monsterdon #StarCrash

@kcarr2015 classic theme tune, fun film. That also, packed a lot of things (psychic robots!?) into it, but coherently.

#Monsterdon #TheBlackHole

@strangefour i mean technically the worst star wars movie is the Wookiee Life Day Special

#monsterdon

@foolishowl ...3 4 5 ah ah ah! #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon round 2: Electric Deleted Scenes Boogaloo in T -5 minutes

@nazokiyoubinbou #monsterdon They should have resurrected it, but with a Bostonian accent or something.

And so, the authoritarian empire with hereditary royalty that maintains its power through a draconian justice system and overwhelming military prowess were the good guys. Also, a cop saved the day multiple times. No ideology here #monsterdon

"If I could turrrrn back tiiiimeee🎶 " STOP IT! #Monsterdon

I wish Message From Space was available in more places than just archive and questionable uploads on youtube so we could watch that next as a compare and contrast of Star Wars rip offs.
#Monsterdon #StarCrash

"The stars are clear; the planets shine; we have won." is now my new email signoff.

Thank you everyone for a pleasant evening!

#Monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie it won't last with Imperial Simon, she should have stuck with Elle #Monsterdon

Kinda sad they didn’t tell us if Stella got her groove back.

#Monsterdon

Well that's one way to stop time

I don't think I have ever seen such a chasm between how bad the movie is and how enjoyable the viewing experience is. Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting!

#Monsterdon

The wheel? What wheel? The Wheel of Time? Wheel of Fortune?
IT'S OVER!
#Monsterdon #StarCrash

Was there a monster in that movie?

#monsterdon

@ricci omg i didn't know about these! i'm not sure i can take another... 36 MINUTES?! of it 😆 #monsterdon

@jadebees #monsterdon The Crashed City had an Apple Genius Bar.

So like... airlocks?
No? No on the airlocks?
Sure, k. Hardly the biggest issue with this movie.

#monsterdon

The giant hand really should have given the middle finger right before it finally exploded.
#Monsterdon #StarCrash

@ricci ooooh yes I am in

#Monsterdon

Oh no I've seen that bubble-headed spacesuit before

#monsterdon #starcrash

@ricci set a time to start the deleted scenes i want to fuckin see these things lets gooooo #monsterdon

#monsterdon So, Acton and Stella Star were just two rando smugglers who were caught and sentenced to hard labor. That's how the film started, right?

Yes, yes, having an emperor that's poetic is nice. Unfortunately there wasn't a plot for him to give that speach to.

#Monsterdon #Starcrash

That truly was a unique and special event, thank you all for sharing it with me....

#Monsterdon

The flying city crashes into the blue claw thing and explodes, as the count does over the top villain gestures.

The smuggler girl reunites with the prince and we get a few minutes of them saying "Simon? Stella? Simon? Stella?" Then the emperor does a melodramatic monologue about how there might be a sequel later.

Roll Credits.

#monsterdon

"well it's done, it's happened" roll CREDITSA BABY #monsterdon

#monsterdon We're over here.. waves.. in a huge space abyss...

Stella! Stella!
#astreetcarnameddesire
#monsterdon

Tonight on #Monsterdon, Christopher Plummer got a free trip to Rome, the chance to flaunt a gear costume, and three days of hanging out with a chick in a space unitard

Shoutout to the bargain basement fireworks they blew the ship up with :D #Monsterdon

Wah - our Tubi feed crashed. Haven't see than before.

Reloading.

#monsterdon

Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? (They do)

#Monsterdon #Starcrash

@mmezabet Dangit! #Monsterdon

lol, love how they just jumped out into Space and somehow that gets them away from the explosion....

#Monsterdon

Imagine if Elric or Zoltan had characterization

#Monsterdon #Starcrash

Wait is he the emperor of subaru?
(Look behind his throne) #monsterdon

"My lord?"

"Yes Eric?"

#Monsterdon

Title Drop has a meaning?
Wait this movie is a suicide mission?
#Monsterdon #StarCrash

The prince and the smuggler girl go to the floating city, which has thoughfully been evacuated before hand so it can be turned into a flying kamikaze bomb. Also, the robocop from before has been resurrected so we can use southern accents more.

#monsterdon

"I've never flown a city before." A line that deserves a much better movie. #monsterdon

fuck this movie

#monsterdon

I have never known what was happening in this movie

#monsterdon

Waiting for the scene where Christopher Plummer rips up the evil dude's flag.

He does that in every movie, no?

#monsterdon

Wait a minute, so the breaching torpedos are sorta badass except somehow they don't cause loss of air pressure? #monsterdon

I don't understand what's happening again. Is that a forebear of the Borg, but blue? What's all this damn shooting about. Who's zooming who??

#Monsterdon

I need to take a second before this is all over to appreciate the STARCRASH logo font.

Aaaand I'm done.

#Monsterdon #Starcrash

I kind of like how prescient this movie is, the villain is really more Kylo Ren than Darth Vader

#Monsterdon

Pew pew

#monsterdon

Outside the confusing space battle continues; the blue claw is using its own fighters to I guess shoot down the boarding pods? Or maybe they're torpedoes? I don't know what's going on?

Anyway, I was kind of hoping the amazons would show up, but they have not. But the Evil Count gets more mook reinforcements and they defeat the boarding party, making the Good Emperor sad.

#monsterdon

Idk just doin some space feudalism generally

#monsterdon #starcrash1979

They got the concept of what attacking a giant battle ship should be, but do not understand how to execute the editing for a basic aerial combat
#Monsterdon #StarCrash

That battle was so good, suck it Starwars

#Monsterdon

That flat shot of Hoff, Emperor Plummer and Stella Fanservice would be a fun cosplay re-enactment

Up there with the Schick Evangelion shaving ad
