This American one sheet for Starcrash (opens in a new tab), Luigi Cozzi’s 1978 Star Wars ‘homage’, has excellent artwork by John Solie, featuring Caroline Munro (opens in a new tab) as the superbly monikered Stella Star. Critically panned on release, it has since gained cult status thanks to the camp script and infamous special effects. It was recently re-released on blu-ray under the ‘Roger Corman Cult Classics’ series. The film also features a score by the late John Barry (opens in a new tab) – I like this bit of trivia on IMDb (opens in a new tab).
Witness David Hasselhoff (opens in a new tab) battling space droids with a ‘lightsword’ on YouTube (opens in a new tab).
Check out the original trailer on YouTube (opens in a new tab) (edited by the great Joe Dante (opens in a new tab)) and bear witness to the quality of the effects.
Director Eli Roth has recorded a commentary to the trailer on the Trailer From Hell (opens in a new tab)site.
