The Ice Pirates - Classic 80s Sci-Fi Adventure Movie | Buy Online for Home Entertainment & Movie Nights

Product Description No science fiction saga will ever be safe again! Robert Urich, Mary Crosby and Anjelica Huston star in this glorious send-up of the entire science fiction genre as an interstellar band of pirates steals from the rich to give to the poor, helps a princess find her lost father and discovers a source of water to slake the thirst of the entire galaxy! Amazon.com The amiable sci-fi spoof The Ice Pirates has earned a small but vocal cadre of admirers thanks to its go-for-broke gags and a healthy disrespect for outer space epics like the Star Wars and Star Trek franchises. An atypically goofy Robert Urich stars as the leader of a band of space pirates who kidnap a princess (Mary Crosby of Dallas fame), and then join her quest to find a mythical planet that can solve the universe’s water shortage. A completely game (shameless?) cast (which includes Anjelica Huston in fetching leather gear, Ron Perlman, John Matuszak, and fantastic film icon John Carradine) and Stewart (The Philadelphia Experiment) and Raffill’s breezy direction help sell the funniest bits (most notably, the notorious "space herpy" scene, and the frantic time-warp finale) and make the more leaden jokes palatable. --Paul Gaita
