Galaxina

Original Movie Poster.

Hello there fellow reader, tonight's entry will takes us to a galaxy far, far away and I don't mean to my favorite movie saga of all times, I mean a trip to the galaxy of space B movies galaxy, our favorite!

The whole cake cooked and eaten by George Lucas' Star Wars, became a massive unexplored universe of movie making based on the idea of alien cultures sharing and/or fighting our human race so why not give it a try and make thousands of space adventures with a low budget and B movie standards?

Galaxina has a universe of its own and today is still considered by many as a an 80's cult classic. Take Doroty Stratten playboy girl as the main character: a state of the art cyborg built to meet the highest standards (you know what I mean)

Call now for your Galaxina, better than an iPhone.

Galaxina and her iPhone 20.

Mr. Spock?

So, now let's get down to business and talk about the "original" plot:

In the 31st century the police cruiser the Infinity -- zany Captain Cornelius Butt , cigar-chewing Sergeant Thor, gung-ho cowboy pilot, sexy servant robot Galaxina, funky black winged alien Maurice and laid-back wizened Oriental Sam Wo -- are assigned to retrieve the powerful mystical gem the Blue Star before the dastardly Darth Vader-like villain Ordric gets his evil hands on it.

Great space adventure poster.

another promising poster.

Writer/director William Sachs  pokes enjoyably broad fun at a slew of popular science fiction movies and TV shows which include "ALIEN," "Star Trek," and the above mentioned "Star Wars," tossing in equally goony parodies of 60's biker flicks and spaghetti Westerns for good measure. Among the comic highlights are a grouchy foul-mouthed rock-eating monster, a visit to a wild interstellar brothel (Marilyn Joi pops up in a bit part as a winged girl prostitute), a nasty alien bar with various human delicacies on the menu, a biker gang that worships the motorcycle Harley Davidson as if it was a god, an Old West-style showdown between Ordric and Galaxina, an angelic choir singing on the soundtrack whenever the Blue Star gets mentioned, and Angelo Rossitto as a cute reptilian dwarf creature. Dean Cundey's handsome, polished cinematography, the surprisingly excellent special effects, the engagingly breezy throwaway tone, and the lush orchestral classical music score are all on the money fine and impressive as well. An amiably silly hoot.

So, that's what the movie is about, but I do have one complaint about this movie which is, why in the world having a miss playboy on a film we never get to see her nude?

So, to help myself and yourselves on this sad truth I give some therapeutic pictures of Dorothy Stratten.

Nice robot ain't she?

Hello there!

This is what I'm talking about.

Her greatest picture.

Worth watching? indeed! but don't expect to find Stratten nude.

Here's the movie trailer:

And here you have the whole movie split in several parts:



Good night!
