Christopher Plummer's most impressive role>>at time stamp 3:08 he intones the most important line of his career:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_27SmXm498I&watch_response The night before filming, over a case of beer, Hoff helps his fellow actor write his own death scene. yeah, true story, the actors were reduced to writing their own dialogue just to get this thing finished. Sneaking in his own death scene allowed ONE of these poor saps to leave early and get back to the States!! |

can on peeps, how can you not appreciate the fact that in one 9 minute YouTube clip, we have BOTH the self-written tear jerking death of the beloved Akton character, AND the immortal words:
IMPERIAL BATTLESHIP, HALT THE FLOW OF TIME! ! ! ! |

trivial wierdness:
Caroline Munro's voice is completely dubbed. The Italian producers thought she came off too "British". hmmmmm, and Plummer's NOT too British? and what would be wrong with British anyway? I don't know anyone who's heard the original voice (OK well I've MET someone who heard the original voice, but the subject of STARCRASH is verboten), but Munro's dialogue, brit accent and all, CANNOT be worse than what they ended up with here. Some of the oddest line readings in the universe. |

more wierd trivia: the body inside the black robot costume is Munro's husband at the time. Not the voice tho, that was dubbed by someone else.
what's with all the dubbing? |

let me know how it turns out. I've never watched past "heart breaking death of faithful alien navigator Akton". likewise Viva Knievel, I've never watched past "crash death of evel-wannabe Jesse." or Earthquake!, I've never watched past "police take out crazed grocery clerk Jody". or Jungle Warriors, after "photographer/manager Larry gets impaled on wooden stakes of giant booby trap", which happens pretty early in the flic, I pop out that VHS tape and move on. or Mausoleum, after "husband Oliver gets eviscerated when his wifes boobs turn into fanged puppets during an intimate bathtub embrace." yes, that really happens in a movie. google it if you don't believe me. |
