STAR WARS! Sound familiar? It sure did to this director. In the years following Star Wars' release, he made quite a few space-themed movies using the same stable of actors, randomly blinking sets, and goofy wardrobe. However, this one exclusively stars Antonio Sabato Sr. (or Toblerone, to Msties) as the dashing, daring, hairy, chick-magnet captain. Complete with alien worlds, expendable crew members, androids, and loose stabilizers, this film actually feels like some sort of unholy offspring of "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" as it "borrows" many, MANY things from each. The light sabers, however, were a total coincidence. And so, join "Just Andrew" as we head three degrees east through cardboard and Christmas light outer space, seeking answers to questions like, "Will the reactor explode?", "How freaking awesome is Kuba?", and "Why blonde?", to some of the catchiest keyboard demo music, ever! This is TRUE B-movie awesomeness!
Run-time: 100 minutes, so I had to decrease the video quality a bit. If you have a higher quality version of this movie, please watch it whilst listening to this audio for maximum rockage.
Contains both the audio and video track, skillfully merged for your convenience.
Comments
JustAndrew did an excellent job with picking this movie. The movie itself is about as cheesy as "Planet of Dinosaurs", complete with painfully-electronicKeyboard music and "special effects" that'll have you laughing. Some of the shots which are supposed to be spaceships fighting look more like someone dragging three or four buttons on black cloth across the screen.
Andrew adds plenty of good lines, which makes this cheesy movie even more enjoyable. There were some parts of this which I thought could have used a few more riffs, but I enjoyed it a lot and feel that it has earned a 5-star rating.
WOTR is greatly funny, featuring tons of belly laughs as I've come to anticipate from any of Andrew's iRiffs. Highly recommended!
Garance-
Thanks for the great feedback. I've been in love with this movie for a LONG time and riffing it was many years coming. I admit there are certain spots where more riffs could've happened, but being a one-man operation has its drawbacks. Still, this one came in at 5.346 RPMs (one riff every 11 seconds). Not too shabby! Anyway, one of my riffs is worth two of anyone else's. (kidding!)
