    The most impressive thing about this movie was how it seemed to literally jump right out of our imaginations. As kids, we used to go to the arcade, and the discussions on the way home were about the kinds of things that happen in this movie! "There's a space agency using video games to recruit for secret missions..." As a kid, that's pure magic when a movie is made about your pretend world.

    The thing that haunted me the most from this movie when I was a kid was when the assassin is lurking around the trailer park and the game cabinet seems to "sense" its presence and starts playing distorted lines from the game. It starts saying "Xur" over and over in this really creepy voice and then melts the assassin's face off O_O

    I was born in 1980 and had the privilege of seeing The Last Starfighter for the first time on LaserDisc in 1990 in a video store while spending the summer with my dad in Fort Lauderdale. He worked next door to this video store, and when I'd hang out while he was working, I would go over to the video store for hours and watch movies with the clerks (they also let me borrow VHS tapes so I would have movies to watch at my dad's work!). The Last Starfighter immediately became one my favorite movies, and I still watch it every few years. Time to watch it again after this!

    Hells yeah!! This is easily one of my favourite movies ever. Simple story that is pure teen wish fulfillment. Playing a videogame turns you into a hero. The first movie to have pure CG scenes. They're very crude with very little texture but those scenes still hold up. I watch this movie whenever the mood hits me and it's a blast from start to finish. Still waiting for the sequel it deserves. You could easily set it in current times similarly to Tron. I won't bore you with the details as I'm just that big of a geek to have tried to write it myself which goes to show how much I love this movie. Still super underrated. I would even accept a remake as the setup to a new series of films so they all had the same look. It was ahead of it's time. Everyone games these days and who doesn't imagine themselves as the hero? It's time for more Last Starfighter.

You might still be able to get the limited edition. If youre a fan of the film the Arrow Video release is a must. Snag a copy just in time for Christmas. I recommend getting a copy from Diabolikdvd a great small business.

    From Ron Cobb's design work to the soundtrack, this has to be the most underrated 80's movie ever. Of all the movies they need to re-make (looking at you Logan's Run) this film, yes a modern remake, but the cast, kind of perfect...

    • @patfer1189
      @patfer1189 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Not sure I'd want a remake of this or Logan's Run.
      In the case of this they'd probably change the main character to a girl and then overdo the CG to the point of ending with something unrecognizable. While Hollywood lacks imagination these days the original, faults and all, works with a great cast, a simple but well told story, and a charm that would be lost with modern writer's obsession with "subverting" everything.
      Similar to a remake of Logan's Run: the sexiness would be eliminated because 'male gaze' or something, even as the original was "progressive" for the time, and which would be completely different of that original. Do you think that remakes of movies like Barbarella or Our Man Flint, silly, cheesy, bad in some ways, but charming, would remotely embody the originals? Even a remake of something like Back to the Future is concerning considering Hollywood's poor track record at it.
      When they can't even get a Home Alone show right...

    I saw "The Last Starfighter" at the local Century Theater (across from the Winchester Mystery House) at it's first screening on opening night. I liked it, but then me and my friends gathered and called Lance Guest, and I challenged him on 'taking top billing over Robert Preston.' He explained that, he was the star of the movie, that was a detail his manager worked out not him, and then talked about how awesome working with Robert Preston was.
    A few years before Lance Guest was an theater worker at that same Century Theater, and it was quite awesome to see his name atop the marquee of same theater.
    Thank you so very much for the video.

    I saw this, I think, on TBS or TNT and quickly bought a DVD. Instead of The City or The Suburbs, "The Last Starfighter" was set in a trailer park. The protagonist is like "George Bailey," yearns to "get out into the world,' but lacks the cash to go anywhere by community college. The Starfighter video game was interesting, and deserved a better game history as video games crashed on the marketplace. Screen/stage veterans Robert Preston and Dan O'Herlihy stood out in their pivotal roles.

    When I first saw this movie, I preferred it to what is now A New Hope. No mumbojumbo, just simple fight the badguys plot, and I love the atmosphere of that trailer park... I mean... Just the kinda place I'd like to live.
    I DO think, however, in view of the remastered Star Trek Originals, that 'they' should allow the vis f/X to be redone, just for the heck of it... Maybe even not bring them fully up to today's standards, just... Allow the team to fully realise what they wanted... And NOT in a Lucas revisionist way, either: as a companion - like some director's cuts are.
    Terrific movie, and always thought Lance Guest should've been a WAY bigger star, but there you go. At least we all have it as it is, and it'll do nicely.

    One of the movies of my childhood.. A bit cheesy, but made very well. Dan O'Herlihy and Robert Preston shined in their roles as usual, Lance Guest was just perfect and Catharine Stewart was hot & sexy, on top of delivering an adorable performance. Effects are really nice and the fact they aged a bit makes them special - if nothing else, I like that they are not a modern-era (un-)real-life CGI fuck-fest kind of a thing.
    Just like Wargames and Starman, it's a movie that helped define the 80's.

    Growing up in the trailer park this movie was huge for me.

    Weren't you making a preview for a reboot of this film's trailer a few years ago?

    Loved the computer effects. Primitive by today's standards but we were more forgiving back then.

    I'm afraid that there will not be a sequel to this film..Bob Preston,Dan O'Herlihy and Meg Wylie..who played"Center","Grigg" and "Granny"are long gone.

    I loved this movie as a kid, I would watch this all the time and wanted to fly a gunstar. Was anyone else looking for the arcade game as a kid??

    I have a copy of "Armada" and I thought..."Wait a minute...This sounds like "The Last Starfighter"......this better be an homage, and not a rip-off...."

    Say what you will about this movie, as an videogame arcade addict kid this was a dream come true.

    A great score would like to get hold of the remastered disk but it’s hard to get of and cost a fortune

    Centari!!
    I always got the extra terrestrial in this movie mixed up with Louis Gossett Junior in enemy mine.
    When I was young, both make up effects looked pretty similar to me.
