The description on IMDB:

 

In the far future water is the most valuable substance. Two space pirates are captured, sold to a princess, and recruited to help her find her father who disappeared when he found information dangerous to the rulers. A real Space Opera with sword fights, explosions, fighting robots, monsters, bar fights and time warps.

 

Cast members include: Robert Urich, Angelica Huston, John Carradine, and Ron Perlman

 

Ron Perlman. In only his second film appearance ever.

 

The description above doesn't even begin to describe the craziness of this movie.

 

Giant White Afros.

 

Space Herpes.

 

Eunich Machine.

 

Such a fun, fun movie.

[PhillipMedoc 648]

One of the craziest sex scenes ever, if I recall.

 

Yes! Skip to 2:30 or so.

This movie is filled with crazy.

[easttexas 3]

Great movie.

[Johnny Unusual 525]

 

Wow, this looks like all kinds of not funny.

[IRONicmerMAN 391]

Wait. Why hasn't this been done? Too easy?

In the glory days of 1989, it seemed like this movie was always on cable, along with Big Trouble In Little China.

I wish I had your cable provider back then. At that time, I think I was watching nothing but Schwarzenegger, Stallone and James Bond films. Sadly, I just saw Big Trouble in Little China for the first time earlier this year.

Love this film, had it on vhs as a kid and watched it all the time till the tape broke. Could never remember the name of the film untill about 16 years ago when I re-found it and got a copy. Still love it now brilliant over the top adventure

[IRONicmerMAN 391]

Just watched this again last night. It's absurd.

• If ever you've longed for a movie with "space herpes", this is it!
  
• The time-travel paradox part of the film is amazingly bad. I mean, a robot gets nervous and diarrheas oil and bolts!
  
• Unicorns!
  
• Lobotomies and castration!
  
• Bruce Vilanch!
  
• A jive-talking robot pimp!

Nostalgia had a hand in me buy this movie. In future I must remember one should not always revisit things from their childhood regardless of how cheap it is to do so.

Yes Please, Ice Pirates HDTGM!

[Jameslwilson88 2]

If Star Trek was a woman, and Star Wars, Battlestar Glactica, and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy came into a blender, than this movie would be their mutant Danny Devito Junior baby. I think its great.

[mrgreen 6]

BUMP. I don't know if this is awful or brilliant. But I know I watched it approximately 30 times when I was a kid.

[Cody Meirick 0]

Yeah I'll bump this. This is a solid choice. I can totally see them having fun with this. Saw it a lot as a kid... not sure what channel it was on, but whatever it was, it was on a lot.

[bryanmode 1]

I’m watching this now. I haven’t seen it since I was 7 years old. It... doesn’t really hold up, but wow, this cast, Ron Perlman, Anjelica Huston.
