All right kids... put on your space helmets, because we are about to blastoff with Luigi Cozzi\'s science fiction "classic" - STARCRASH!\\xa0Epic outer space action ensues as we indulge in all the stellar special effects and fine acting that 1978 Italy had to offer! \\xa0Plus we feature a\\xa0"One from the Vaults" memory from the (Stella) Star of the movie - Caroline Munro herself! Hear what Caroline thinks is a great "word"\\xa0to describe this film. And what she first though when she saw her very special outer space costume! \\xa0All that plus the early acting skills of a\\xa0young David Hasselhoff, the villainous cape-whipping of Joe Spinell, the over-powering futuristic hair of Marjoe Gortner and a career-making performance from none other then Oscar-winner Christopher Plummer!! \\xa0

So venture into the TechniColor stars with us as we also mention... the ubiquitous space wedgie, Ray Harryhausen, watching movies with\\xa0Roger Corman, a planet of scantily-clad women, Jason and the Argonauts, a 70\'s bowling trophy, Rock-a-doodle, chewing the scenery,\\xa0zipping up your spacesuit, Michael Bolton, Ming the Mericiless, the location scout, there\'s a fish in the percolator, Gizmo Duck,\\xa0computers in \'78, The Neverending Story 2, Piranaha DD, young Lily Tomlin in space, stairs or the fireman\'s pole?, The Brave Little\\xa0Toaster, nervous robots, Scorsese in space!, beating Lucas to the punch, the first time I remember noticing product placement, porn without\\xa0the sex, Willie Aames, that is no way to make a dildo, All Dogs Go to Heaven, robot chauvinism, space popped collar and robots with\\xa0pirate swords.
