action
“After the great interplanetary wars, the galaxy dried up. Water has become the only thing of value. Evil Templars from the planet Mithra have taken control of this vital raw material. Your power is thereby perfect. Only a few rebels manage to survive by stealing ice from the Templars' spaceships like pirates. "
On one of these spaceships, the pirate Jason discovers the beautiful Princess Karina, daughter of the Count of Argon. The attack on the coveted ice cargo fails, and Jason kidnaps the princess while retreating. Persecuted by the Templars, Jason and his pirate friend Roscoe are captured. Here you can find out about the Count of Argon's search for the legendary Seventh World, a planet full of water. The discovery of these enormous water reserves would endanger the power of the Templars.
Once on Mithra, Princess Karina unexpectedly saves the pirates from being castrated on the assembly line . Disguised as eunuchs , Karina puts the two of them in her slave service and goes with them on a journey to the pirate moon Sagora. She is looking for the revolutionary Lanky Nibs, who should know where her father, the Count of Argon, is. But Zorn, the most submissive servant of the Templars, reports to His Grace that everything that has happened so far is going exactly according to plan. This time, they seal each other no further failure.
On Sagora, Karina and Jason find Lanky Nibs, who has aged through time loss. This tells of the true existence of the Seventh World. Dying, he advises the two of them to fly into the tri-system. But the flight becomes a disaster - "space herpes" break out.
In the tri-system, Karina arrives through a hologram of her father on the course to the Seventh World, which cannot be deviated under any circumstances. But Zorn and the Templars have long since taken up the chase, and everyone is caught in the time-lapse that inevitably occurs on the way to the center of the galaxy. Fortunately, the grown up son of Karina and Jason saves the time travelers from the attack of the equally aging Templars. The Templars are lost due to a change in course in time; Karina and the pirates, who never deviated from the correct course and are thus back to the age before the time lapse, reach the Seventh World - Earth!
Others
- The film satirizes mainly scenes from Star Wars (android battle robots, knights, sword fighting) and Mad Max (martial costumes, quirky converted vehicles and desert scenes).
- The laser device, with which the entrance to the Templar spaceship is cut at the beginning, appears in numerous series from the 1980s as a laser cannon z. B. Knight Rider .
- The ruler of the tri-system consists of only one head - in the scenes you can often see the bad camera setting, you can see the actor's shoulders again and again.
- You can see how the “space herpes” is pulled by a thread during its escape.
Reviews
“ An interplanetary spectacle based on the usual science fiction patterns with some hardship and tasteless effects. "
