Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Only David Hasselhoff and Christopher Plummer have their own voices in the English dubbed version of the film. Everyone else was dubbed by different people. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: When going into hyperspace for the first time, Akton gives the probabilities of various catastrophes happening to the ship - 40% total disintegration, 30% molecular ignition, 20% gamma contamination - from which Stella concludes that they have a 10% chance of survival. In fact, if these are independent events then the overall probability would be calculated by multiplying the probabilities of surviving each one - which would be 60% x 70% x 80%, giving 33.6%. more

At last available on DVD!, 6 March 2004
Author: pariscub (pariscub@free.fr) from Edinburgh, Scotland

This is probably one of the best/worse movies I've ever seen, and I've been so much looking forward to its official release on DVD... Well at last that's it! Starcrash is available on DVD Region 2 in France! I certainly pray for a French dub option, as it makes the movie even more cheesy than it is! I'm certainly looking forward to seeing it again, as my VHS copy is so used now that it's not correctly read by my VCR. I wonder if it's going to be released in other countries. However, Starcrash is still brilliant... Just to see Christopher Plummer wondering during the whole movie what he's doing and why he accepted the part, know about his fantastic power as the Emperor of the Universe, to stop time for five minutes only, and see David Hasselhoff in one of his first movies ever... Of course, seeing the wonderful Carolin Munroe in a Barbarella-like part is also great fun!
