Sarah and I have taken up the hobby of having a few beers and watching the worst B-movies we can find. This has turned out to be just as entertaining as watching real movies, plus we’re never disappointed. Big-budget action or Oscar-nominated drama sometimes don’t appeal to both of us, but low-grade B sci-fi is universally loved.

Anyways, we managed to get our hands on one that’s been eluding us for quite a while: Starcrash. This is an Italian Star-Wars knock-off that has David Hasselhoff fighting the evil Count Zarth Arn with a laser-sword (NOT a light-sabre, that would be copyright infringement…)

I don’t want to spoil any of it, but this movie is a MUST-SEE for anyone who loves bad movies. A quick rundown of the greatness: A hillbilly police robot, a main heroine who spends most of the movie in a leather space-bikini, and of course, David Hasselhoff.

Finally, to whet your appetite, here’s my favorite quote from the movie, delivered by The Emperor of the Galaxy, played by Christopher Plummer: “Imperial Battleship…Halt the flow of time!” That’s a pretty sweet power!
