So, Spacehunter is a movie I watched back in the day and decided to watch again recently. You know what? It has aged rather well! As I watched it again, some thirty years after it first appeared, several things struck me.<br/><br/>Firstly, it has a real simple story. A no frills rescue mission. There are no "twists", no "shocking" reveals. It's just a straight up adventure.<br/><br/>Secondly, it was more than nice to watch a movie with no CGI in it. We are talking good old fashioned practical effects, miniatures and painted backdrops for the most part. Simple stuff, but very effective.<br/><br/>Thirdly, there was good old fashioned tongue-in-cheek humour and character interactions. Larger than life heroes and villains, and just a plain old amount of fun! Why aren't there modern movies made to this really simple formula? Everything now seems so serious and dreary in the scifi realm. Did we change so much that movies like Spacehunter no longer appeal to us?<br/><br/>I was also pleased with the practical creature effects in Spacehunter. Men in fat suits made to look like some kind of human grubs. A snake-like dragon thing that was only on screen for a few seconds. It all speaks of the effort that went into making the film look good. Nobody here said "Get the CGI guys to put something in." It was all done with silicon and puppetry and it still looked more effective than half the computer generated stuff you see nowadays.<br/><br/>Spacehunter isn't well-written, the acting is cheesy at times, as is the dialogue, and the Mad Max-esque landscape is derivative, but damn it! It is fun to watch and enjoyable! That last comment is the highest praise I can heap on a film. That, despite its obvious limitations, it entertains you. The 80's seemed particularly chock-full of films like this. These days, not so much.<br/><br/>Sure it is cheesy and the dialogue is hammy. But is good cheese and ham! For example:<br/><br/>Space Amazon #1, confronting our hero: "He looks in prime breeding condition."<br/><br/>Space Amazon #2: "Breeding with us would likely kill him!" <br/><br/>Our hero: "I'll take that bet!"<br/><br/>And there are more. So many more! It's just chock full of it. Do yourself a favour and give it a go.<br/><br/>SUMMARY: Mad Max goes scifi! Squeaky Molly Ringwald, Grub-humans and some priceless lines of dialogue make this a must see for anyone that remembers the days before CGI took all the fun out of cinema.
Three beautiful women survive their ship's destruction on an escape shuttle. They land on a war-torn disease-plagued planet and are quickly captured. Scavenger Wolff (Peter Strauss) and his android Chalmers go on a rescue mission for the massive reward. Ruthless ruler Overdog (Michael Ironside) has taken the women to the Forbidden Zone. Niki (Molly Ringwald) is the last survivor of an Earth medical expedition. She joins Wolff as his guide. Competitor former comrade Sector Chief Washington (Ernie Hudson) turns partner.<br/><br/>This is one of those B-movie Star Wars wannabe with a healthy dose of Mad Max and a temporary revival of 3-D during the early 80s. I have forgotten how much cheesy fun this movie has. I remember the vehicles but I honestly forgot about the hang-gliders. The movie has the fattest mutants and midgets as well. It is utterly full-on B-movie. I actually like the adorable Molly Ringwald as a loud-mouthed pixie. I would have liked Chalmers in the group but the android gets nuked extremely early. It is a shame since Chalmers seems to be set up early on to be a lead. Ironside and his get-up with his maze is ridiculous and fun. I do not recommend this movie unless one is in the mood to see silly camp.
