Star Wars is the rare film whose influence on Hollywood cannot be overstated; following its smash success in 1977, theaters were hailed with a meteor storm of Star Wars cash-ins, rip-offs, and wannabes. Some imitators, like Battlestar Galactica, would prove surprisingly long-lived, while others like Space Mutiny and Laserblast (in which melting Mark Hamill action figure Kim Milford blows up a Star Wars billboard) would be destined for mockery on Mystery Science Theater 3000. Even film franchise elder statesman James Bond felt the space craze in the adaptation of Ian Fleming’s Moonraker, and classic science fiction properties Flash Gordon and Star Trek were revitalized for the big screen. Amid the mad rush to fill the gaps between the original Star Wars sequels, there emerged one colorful, campy space opera that became the archetypal Star Wars knock-off: Starcrash, a.k.a. the movie where David Hasselhoff is Princess Leia.

OH. MY. GOD.
