I think I remember this movie actually only being shown in second run theaters for about a week,about the same amount of time it took someone to make it. I do have to say though,this has to be one of the best films ever made for something like MST3K.
Some of this scene has been cut on the Blu-ray release. I was very disappointed to see the "We have?!" line and Marjoe Gortner's line "Count Zarth Arn, watch out!" removed.
That should have NEVER been cut by Roger Corman. All of the other crazy dialogue was left intact, so the cut makes zero sense. It's part of the movies' charm.
I have a soft spot for effects like this, before you could do everything with CGI.^^ The lava lamp kind of reminds me of the first Superman movie with Christopher Reeves, they used such effects in the beginning, in the flight through space; only much better executed.^^
I had to play it about 10 times before finally realizing that "Caown zaathon washaoul! is supposed to be "Count Zarth Arn, watch out!" And he SHOULD watch out, since his lavalamp ray does more damage to the _viewers_ than to the people he uses it on.
Yeah.... I would have made a weapon that killed people.... just me if I was evil.... something that would have somehow made their ship and their own bodies somehow come apart violently, maybe even burn a little...
I have a feeling that Mike Judge was inspired by this scene to create Beavis' alter ego, Bungholio. "It must be the Count's weapon! Are you threatening me?!"
"Star Wars" may have been relatively low budget, but I bet the entire budget for "Star Crash" was less than what they paid for CATERING on the sets of "Star Wars." :)
Wrong. Chuck Norris is the most powerful weapon

I wonder what the budget was for Starcrash...Star Wars was low, so this must have been Wallgreens low...

Well they could afford James Bond composer John Barry to do the score for "Starcrash". The music is probably the best thing in the movie.

No, StarCrash is a piece of fun, it is so silly that it is pure joy to watch it and laugh.

The entire film is a treasure chest of classical "bad movie" scenes.
Easily the worst film I've ever seen...and I mean that in the most flattering of contexts.
