“Starcrash” (1978) is a science-fiction space opera film that some have called the worst/best science-fiction film of the 70s. It’s been given awards for its screenplay while at the same time made fun of on “Mystery Science Theater 3000”.
While not really a science-fiction, Starcrash is more of a space fantasy film. It was considered by some critics to be just another space fantasy trying to capitalize on the success of “Star Wars” (1977), however this really isn’t true since the script and concept for the Starcrash predated Star Wars.
According to Internet sources, the film's producer and screenwriter, Nat Wachsberger, and his son, producer Patrick Wachsberger, who just previously developed the American production company Film Enterprises Productions, signed on to the film in May 1977 during the Cannes Film Festival after viewing sample work created by Cozzi for investors.*
The film was a true international production with photography that started at the Cinecittà studios in Rome, Italy in October 1977. Production also took place in Morocco, Tunisia and in Hollywood, California. Budget for the film was ~ 4 million dollars (US).
The story centers on the quest by a ship and crew to find the “evil Count Zarth Arn” who has created a mysterious and powerful weapon.
