Recently got into watching older SciFu from the 70s/80s and a chatter on stream suggested "Star Crash" which is very hard to find apparently, had to get it off eBay.

It is basically if some kid watched Star Wars and said "What is this? I can do better than this!" And made it again but 100x worse. It's really awful but in the good kind of way. Even the editing is terrible, there are cuts that make no sense, etc. But it has David Hasslehoff in it!

Haven't watched the second one yet, but I am delighted to see what they tried to rip off for that one.

Star Crash is one of the more competent Star Wars rip-offs or cash-ins and is good cheesy fun - Brazilian Star Wars is terrible, Turkish Star Wars us deranged.
