It's not unfair to say that part of
Luigi Cozzi's career involved ripping-off other people's works, but with
Starcrash he didn't even try to hide it. The
Star part is obvious enough (think
Lucas), but the
crash part is equally as apt because it does, frequently. Of course, that's what makes it interesting; that it resembles
Barbarella (1968) at times also helps in the kitschy-cool department. And it even has elements of Columbia's Sinbad films (Talos with tits?).
What's perhaps the most heinous sin committed is that someone decided to dub all of
Caroline Munro's dialogue (although, to be fair, it's reasonably well done) but none of
David Hasselhoff's. That just ain't right,
Cozzi.
