An interesting movie, was an 80’s comedy/parody of the original Star Wars movie. The copy we watched was in VHS quality which certainly leant a bit of charm to it, even if it was hard to make out any details.
It also stars Count Binface’s original incarnation, Lord Buckethead!

Certainly felt more of a cash grab than an actual movie, although I sort of got the feeling they were going for that in a meta way which just didn’t pay off.
Some of the humour was just offensive for the sake of…

The acting was pretty terrible in this one and honestly I’m not entirely sure what the plot was supposed to be, but the idea of giant octopuses and cold war spies was interesting.
The sexual tension between the main bad guy (who of course has a British accent) and the main protagonist was an interesting vibe.
There could have been more scenes with the Octopus in as well, and the s…
