i like the star war series . i like a good and cheapo sci fi flick every once in a while and too . heck and i even like the roger corman produce nickel and dime jobbies . i do not like the ice pirate and though . for one and it just look too cheap and you know . for a movie that suppose to take place in out space and it feel cramp and close in like it be film in the front seat of someone mazda . and the special effect and while appropriately cheesy and look more than anything like foam rubber paint metallic gray . usually and i do not let thing like that bother me and especially if the story and the character be worthwhile . they ain not . the whole storyline and about these neer do well space pirate who decide to find a planet load with ice they can melt down and sell a water ( a hot commodity in the future and i guess ) be about as original a the joke and which be not a compliment . the humor come in at about crotch level ( like that castrate machine you will see early on ) and and everyone seem to have a cranky attitude . and who tell john matuzak that he be funny . whoever do and shame on them . good old robert urich try and but he a reliable actor on board a badly sink ship ( or starship and in this case ) . i watch this one about three time and end up feel the same way every time shanghai . no star . in spite of of the presence of huston ( one year prior to prizzi honor ) and carradine ( at the tail end of a once lofty career ) and these pirate should walk the plank .
