    Video Review: Contamination

    I was bored today so I threw together a short video review of Contamination by Luigi Cozzi. A lot of people hate this movie, but I have a real soft spot for it:

    Yeah, not a bad film. Starcrash is Cozzi's best though. David Hasselhoff, Caroline Munro, Joe Spinell and Christopher Plummer in a cheap-assed sci-fi turd. What's not to like?

    That's the Star Wars meets Flash Gordon meets exploding candy shop one, right? With the unauthorized, lawsuit-baiting lightsabres and ships that shoot torpedoes that spit out soldiers?

    I've not seen it yet, but I was reading about it lately. I really wanna see it.

    Keep your eyes peeled, Krackers. It's on terrestrial TV once a year, usually Channel Four.

    I'll keep an eye out. I'll try and find the DVD too, if that's too expensive I can always, um, procure a copy via other channels.

    Anyway, re: Contamination, am I the only one who thinks Ian McCulloch looked a lot like Roger Moore in his younger days?

    Yeah, as you can tell from my review, I thought Contamination was great fun. I'm totally up for Starcrash now.

    It's great.

    Actually, if you can find Maniac with Joe Spinell flying around on the cheap pick it up. There's a rare radio interview on there with Spinell and Caroline Munro, who both starred in Starcrash, and they talk about it a little bit. Also the executive producer of Maniac, Munro's husband, Judd Hamilton, was an actor in the film too. Quite a big ol' tangled web, matey.

    I think I've got that DVD lying around somewhere. I'll have a rummage...
