This 1980 sci-fi romp is now mostly remembered as iconic model and Playmate Dorothy Stratten's one movie. While it may be essential to any Stratten collector, it also stands on its own as a comedy, with the late Avery Schreiber (a master stand-up comic) heading up a galactic "police farce" that includes a granite-jawed, cigar-chomping hero, a stoner, an inscrutable Oriental, a bat-winged soul brotha, and a robot of luscious proportions and, er, shocking tactile capabilities. On a mission to retrieve an important mineral sample, the robot falls in love with the hero, reconfigures her very-software, and takes on a mysterious baddie in a High-Noon-style confrontation on a planet of Harley-Davidson worshipers. Not that the plot matters much. Amid swipes at everything from 'Star Trek' to 'Alien,' the characters trade rapid-fire one-liners and land in one cornball situation after another; they obviously had a blast making the movie, and it will appeal to those who liked "Spaceballs," "Airplane!," "Amazon Women On The Moon," "Police Academy," and "Strange Brew" eh? ... especially if you've had a few beers already. Cautions include an "R" rating purely for language--my nine-year-old would love this if it weren't for the four-letter words--and a poor formatting technique which involves neither letterboxing nor video ratio, but an attempt to scrunch the original screen ratio into video size, which makes everyone look slightly enlongated.Read full review

Although perhaps not the best role for her, she certainly did an excellent job in this film. It was quite enjoyable and entertaining to say the least. The worse thing watching the film was knowing that Dorthy Stratten could have truly in time been a great actress. The movie did have a few down points, but its overall performances were excellent.
Great
