Galaxina
This was Dorothy Stratten's final film role released while she was still alive. She was killed two months later in a murder-suicide by her husband Paul Snider. According to a September 20, 1980 article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, it was released the day after she died, and quickly pulled from theaters for a later release.,The Infinity is sent on a long mission because it is the closest ship, yet while they are in cryosleep it is voice over that other ships have hyperdrive; with it they'd be there "pretty quick". That effectively means that they weren't the "closest" ship in the implied sense.,Sam Wo: Robot woman like clock: pretty face, pretty hands, pretty movement, but hard to regulate when she get out of order.,During the credits, Captain Cornelius Butt does a humorous log entry.,Featured in Sneak Previews: The Postman Always Rings Twice/All Night Long/Galaxina/Back Roads/Private Eyes (1981),Percussives

KPM Music Ltd,I first saw this film when I was very young, so my judgement may be clouded by youthful rose-tinted glasses ... but what the hell, I like this flick. Call me inane, puerile, sophomoric, or just plain stupid, but I laughed (and STILL do!) whenever the soundtrack does that DOO-WAH whenever the Blue Star (I'm gracing it with caps) is mentioned. I beg anyone who likes this film to seek out the budget UK PAL region 0 DVD release of this film, as it features the full uncut (and indeed this film WAS shorn of some 10 minutes of non-essential footage in some prints, including the Rhino DVD), which to boot is presented in full 2.35:1 widescreen in a jaw-droppingly pristine transfer - for my money it was gleaned from the original negative. If not, YOU explain why it looks like it was shot yesterday. Compared to more recent DTV sci-fi parodies, Galaxina holds up well and deserves a re-appraisal... but see the uncut widescreen version first!,
