The Eighties Sci-Fi Thread.

[vincenzo]

Great fun. One of my favourite 80's space movies.

I have the US DVD (released by New Concorde) and the UK Warner video.

if im right, films like ice pirates used the same space crafts, because, being a roger corman production it was cheaper to use the same shots. i think they used them from this. I just looked on Amazon and the cheapest dvd is 21.99...

i need to find Damnation ally aswel.....love that film.

[vincenzo]

I've got Damnation Alley on video as well. Don't think it's had a DVD release anywhere yet for some reason. Another great fun film featuring a young Jackie Earle Haley.

First saw it on the cinema in the late 70's with (I think) David Carradine's Thunder And Lightning.

i love Damnation Ally, seems that George Peppard made the round in 70s and 80s sci-fi. the only problem i have with Ally is the scorpions, they looked a little bit silly, but still a great movie. Another film i've been trying to get hold of is a T.V movie from 1974 starring Peter Graves called Where have all the People gone, i managed to watch it on youtube and loved it but can only find a double Feature dvd with Embryo that is around $21....

I'm wondering if Battle beyond The Stars will get a re-release in the U.S.? Maybe in a second wave of Corman Classics.would be nice to see it in blu-ray too

Timerider:The Adventure Of Lyle Swann It's a pity that the Anchor Bay dvd only contains the cut PG version.Peter Coyote trying to ride the motorcycle is hilarious.

The old UK video was uncut. Crazy that they used the PG version for the US DVD.

[Stephen@Cult Labs]

Yeah I used to have the vhs version and got rid of it when I bought the dvd
