1:00 Film title 1:40 Film start. There I saved you from staring at white dots on a black background for a minute and pre-movie credits you will see again at the end.
That little boy was probably lashed across the eyes like the old dude. This was pretty hardcore for a cartoon back in 1985. Violence, torture, death. I was 8 years old and loved it! Not really a star wars rip-off but very mainstream sci-fi.
okay this may only be the first part, but this doesn't seem like a Star Wars rip-off. It seems more like a science fiction pre-curser to "The City of Ember"
I have this on VHS and DVD, and I'm keeping BOTH copies! This is by far one the MOST underrated animated cinematic feats of our time! It's 80's all the way. I can watch this constantly (and I have) and NEVER get tired of it!!
@jeenormus I'm with you100%!! Just about eveything hollywood remakes, winds up watered down and crappy! This is a gem that should not be tampered with!
@Johnlindsey289 Very true! It has obvious (and possibly purposeful) Start Wars undertones (Orin's sword) and Heavy Metal undertones (Silica and Dagg's pairing). But yet has a unique quality about it all its own. And yes, the animation for the time frame is excellent! I can watch this film over and over (in which I have) and never get tired!
OH MY GOD!!! i remember watching this on betamax!! I must of watched this at least 30 times when i was a kid. How the hell did i forget this film??? Awesome
I saw this in theaters when i was a kid at age 4 in 3D in it's december release and blew me away. This movie is the Avatar of the 80's! anyone finds this movie similar to Cameron's movie? in fact this is one of Cameron's favorite animated movies and used it as one of his inspirations to his new movie especially the similar villain, similar alien jungle, similar alien messiah and the same alien horses.
@Johnlindsey289 YEAH! I saw this in the theaters. I remember seeing this in the theaters when I was knee high to a grasshopper. The animation was great and holds up well given it's what almost 30 old? I remember getting freaked out by the mutants that wanted his parts. Very Star Wars inspired but not to the point where you can't enjoy it. Very ballsy too. They'd have a hard time getting this cleared nowadays in a theater. I must've drawn Arthur a million times when I was a kid.
Do you also remember seeing The Black Cauldron in theaters as well that year? another cool PG-rated adult animated fantasy epic. Do you also remember Warriors of the Wind or Rock and Rule?
@Johnlindsey289 Naw, missed out on them. I had a very weird childhood for a variety of reasons. I got to see some things but somehow missed out on others, even if it was released the same year/time period. So I saw Terminator as a kid, but not Blade Runner. A lot of the really good stuff I didn't see until I got older. And I'm still finding gems as a 36 year old, especially due to availibility of things these days.. I'm kinda glad it worked out that way since now I still have stuff to
omg!!i've been looking for this movie for so many years. and i couldn't remember the name! :') althought i wasn't born yet when this movie came out, it is a part of my childhood...i used to watch this with my older sister...brings back so many memories xD
Dagg Dubrini = woman want him, men what to be him.
Just one look at Dubrini's receding hairline proves that he is not a Han Solo clone in a brazen StarWars rip-off. Still an excellent animated movie that has stood the test of time.
@wandererlain you can download it from thepiratebay. org. i never saw the movie before but it seems cheesy but im a watch it after im done downloadig it
Is this the movie i have been after for so MANY years? Someware in this movie some ghetto dude answers "u got ze money" to some trader of some kind, plz tell me this is the one...!!!
I just bought this in field sequential 3D. 3D is really fantastic. ¾ into the movie I said to myself , “This reminds me a lot of Star Wars” Animation reminded me of Heavy Metal. Great movie.
I haven't seen this since I was 10. My god, the memories !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was in the theater with my dad and I saw this in 3D. It's absolutely amazing the amount of memories that came flooding back seeing this now. 23 years later, I can still remember how it felt to sit in that theater with my dad watching this in 3D. :-)
I thought of this randomly today while at work and lo and behold, by the magic of Youtube, I can watch it again. Many thanks for posting another chunk of my childhood to enjoy once again
FINALLY!! ive found it, i been trying to remember so hard what this was called i had to search through all of the 80s animation to find this lol, :) god the years go fast
i bought a 2nd hand BHS of this about 15 years ago hahaha... i forgot the name completely but i remembered the quote "hell is up" and found this through google!
Don't forget, of course, that this movie was originally published in 3-d. I remember seeing this as a kid in the theatres, being wowed by the 3-d starfield at the beginning... and I made my own model of the starship out of legos :)
The boy's name Orin \o-rin\ is a variant of Oran (Aramaic, Irish, Gaelic) and Oren (Hebrew, Irish, Gaelic), and the meaning of Orin is "light; pale; pine tree; fair, pale".
The baby name Orin sounds like Erin, Arin, Orrin, Orion, Oron and Orwin.
Other similar baby names are Odin, Olin, Orlin, Orsin, Orvin and Owin.
I still fail to see the point one of my favorite films Battle Beyond The Stars and Hawk the slayer owe more to Star Wars than Starachaser. And Starwars is a redesigned pastiche of classic movies. Even if he didn't like the film he shoulld't sue.
WOW I've been looking for this movie for years. Couldn't remember the name to save my life. And haven't seen it since it came on television. lol This is insane.
What a classic, I got this back at my folks prob somwhere in the attic.
I like the picture quality it give the old film a more historic look, plus most old films have been ruined cos the different tech that was used at the time. Cartoons that had some film like violence with no slow boring lame plots that dont go nowhere like todays. The makers actualy put effort into entertaining the youth plus we def had better theme and scene music to the 80s cartoons.
exactly. Star Wars dropped like a bomb on the marketplace. Plus there's the fact that most of the meat of the star wars story is classic myth of the hero kind of stuff. Lucas even said that it all started with ripping off Kurosawa's Hidden Fortress.
I remember seeing this in the theater back in the 80's, in 3D. Seeing it again after all these years, it certainly hasn't aged very well. Either that or my memory has been cheating me. The animation is on par with TV animation of the time, like the stuff Filmation used to do.
This movie is the shit! It's totally unfair to call it a ripoff of Star Wars. Anyone who knows about production can see that it's the productions fault the movie seems like it, but if you really look at the story, there's a lot of difference! Especially the oppressive theocracy element. Way better.
that's a really good question, I think the answer is complex. Let me see if I can get my friend NeopreneJunebug to tell you about it, the guy is like an encyclopedia of this stuff.
LOVED this film as a kid, and still reckon it's pretty cool (and "adult") today... there's still a couple of moments that really made me go "wow, they wouldn't go THERE in a kid's film today". I like the look of the art and the characters are loads of fun (despite being fairly cliche). The music (especially the emotive and heroic main theme) absolutely ROCKS, too!
I saw this in the theatre in 3D. I remember people being mad because Rocky 4 was sold out. I don't think you can see it in 3D anymore, which made it a lot cooler to watch.
lol this movie is got a bit of adult tone...it would make a better live action movie than star wars in my opioion..would be better if they just changed bits and pieces of the story to be less george lucas(ish)
A classic, I tracked this down to a region one dvd releaase and got it sent over to the UK. Love it, and watch it every so often. Even my young nieces and nephews love this film. I always hoped they'd relase a sequal somehow as the universe the film was et in seemed full of possibilities.
Actually...I bought this movie on VHS long ago...and thought it was a lot like Star Wars...so I am in total agreement with ColdPizza...and posted a video response as well....unfortunatly I accidentally posted Justice League Football as a video response....ooops...anywho.....thanks for posting the movie coldpizza!!

I remember seeing this in the theater back in the 80's, in 3D. Seeing it again after all these years, it certainly hasn't aged very well. Either that or my memory has been cheating me. The animation is on par with TV animation of the time, like the stuff Filmation used to do.

This movie is the shit! It's totally unfair to call it a ripoff of Star Wars. Anyone who knows about production can see that it's the productions fault the movie seems like it, but if you really look at the story, there's a lot of difference! Especially the oppressive theocracy element. Way better.

I agree this movie was awesome. Why don't they make movies like this anymore?

that's a really good question, I think the answer is complex. Let me see if I can get my friend NeopreneJunebug to tell you about it, the guy is like an encyclopedia of this stuff.

As a youngster, I thought this movies was sweet! 23 years later, I still think the same thing.
Starchaser: The Lengend of Orin will always be one of my favs.

LOVED this film as a kid, and still reckon it's pretty cool (and "adult") today... there's still a couple of moments that really made me go "wow, they wouldn't go THERE in a kid's film today". I like the look of the art and the characters are loads of fun (despite being fairly cliche). The music (especially the emotive and heroic main theme) absolutely ROCKS, too!

seen this movie in the theater in 3-D when it first came out. I have been wanting to see it again for over 20 years now...wow

I saw this in the theatre in 3D. I remember people being mad because Rocky 4 was sold out. I don't think you can see it in 3D anymore, which made it a lot cooler to watch.

Man it has been years since i've seen this.
This film is cool.
I think i've still got the video cassette lying around somewhere.

lol this movie is got a bit of adult tone...it would make a better live action movie than star wars in my opioion..would be better if they just changed bits and pieces of the story to be less george lucas(ish)

A classic, I tracked this down to a region one dvd releaase and got it sent over to the UK. Love it, and watch it every so often. Even my young nieces and nephews love this film. I always hoped they'd relase a sequal somehow as the universe the film was et in seemed full of possibilities.
