My goodness -- someone was grumpy when they saw this flick!

Unlike my learned colleague, I apparently have room in my life for tres mal cinema...I loved this movie. Now, I am not going to tell you it's GOOD, by any means, but you have to give credit to the fine old British actors who salvaged what they could -- Jim Dale and several of the others did an amazing job with the awful script they were given. If you like "Plan 9 From Outer Space", "I Married a Space Alien", and the like, then this movie is right up there. Frankly, I think tres mal cinema nights demand this sort of thing. So, get a keg, grab your high school buddies, get out the D&D dice and enjoy -- and you can, like me, root for the bad guys cos it is sooooo bad!

It's a MOVIE, not fine Romanticist literature, after all!

Trivia
The Stardust ship prop now resides in a very old fairground/theme park called Blackgang Chine on the Isle of Wight in the UK. Visitors used to be able to explore the interior, but is now off-limits except to look at from the outside.

Goofs
When Tom is flying during the battle scene near the end, wires that are holding the jet are clearly visible in several shots.

Quotes
Hermes: [Discussing Sandie at film's end] What on earth are you going to do with her?
Tom Trimble: You mean what am I going to do with her on Earth? Live happily ever after. Isn't that what you're supposed to do in a situation like this?
