Typical Fred Olen Ray Film

This is a prison girl movie in space, a prison without a shower. One bad guy wears pink, another had Fabio hair. Sandy Brooke changes her top twice. Expected cat fight was lame, special effects were camp. 2017 Edition has a Fred Olen Ray commentary option.

Guide: No swearing or sex. Nudity

Fun sci-fi variant on the babes-behind-bars genre

A handful of convicts plot to escape from a prison ship where they are treated like pieces of meat by the sadistic staff. Director Fred Olen Ray keeps the enjoyably silly story zipping along at a snappy pace, maintains an amiable tongue-in-cheek tone throughout, and adds amusing touches of deliberately campy humor. However, Ray doesn't deliver much in the way of gratuitous female nudity and keeps the sleazier aspects of the premise to a minimum.

Fortunately, we still get nasty mutant rats, a few lively cat fights, and a welcome appearance by the big toothy monster from "The Deadly Spawn." Moreover, it's acted with zest by an enthusiastic cast: Sandy Brooke and Suzy Stokey make for feisty and appealing heroines, Ross Hagen has an eye-rolling histrionic field day as the evil and unhinged Bantor, Marya Grant vamps it up nicely as the wicked Warden Exene, and Dawn Wildsmith contributes a deliciously hammy turn as mean head trustee Muffin. Aldo Ray alas isn't given much to do as a grotesquely disfigured inquisitor while John Carradine pops up in a quick bit as a doddery judge. The funky old school practical effects and copious use of stock footage from several Roger Corman flicks add a certain endearingly tacky charm. The spirited score by Anthony Harris hits the stirring spot. A schlocky blast.

Corny and cheesy space adventure...

Right, well I knew that this was most likely not going to be massive gem in cinema history that had somehow eluded me since 1986 and up until 2019.

But still, I decided to watch "Star Slammer" because I had the chance. And I must say that the movie definitely is cheesy for sure. But underneath all that cheesy and low budget posture beats a heart with a vision and the drive to make something out of said story despite the budget might not be the biggest.

The storyline in "Star Slammer" was fairly straight forward, and very reminiscent of the 1950s and 1960 sci-fi adventures. And throw in some elements of fantasy and you get "Star Slammer". Yup, this movie also had fantasy elements to it.

The special effects and make-up effects weren't grand, that's for sure. But they served their purposes well enough and actually were fun enough to watch on the screen.

As for the acting, well let's just say you get what you can expect from a movie such as this. Enough said and no fingers pointed.

"Star Slammer" was adequate enough for a single viewing albeit it being somewhat below mediocre. And keep in mind that the entire movie is just covered with pseudo-sexual undertones. Not sure why, but it was a little bit corny and cheesy for sure.

Hardly a movie that I will be returning to watch a second time around now that I have managed to sit through it the first time.
