What's that light over there in the sky? Could it be... a spaceship?
Yeah, and a good one, too. It's from Hyperspace, that incredible flick made by Todd Durham in 1985. Unbelievable. Really. And a superb score by Don Davis, in a full orchestral speed.
How could that happen? How come this sci-fi spoof, waaaay much better than Spaceballs or Morons from outer space (ain't that an esay one?), never came to DVD. Can't even think of Blu-Ray, HD DVD or any brand new thing we'll have to buy to watch movies in the future. There's a crappy DVD version in the UK, released under the name of Gremloids. Gremloids? WTF?
Hyperspace has everything you could wish in a movie-even more. A flying shopping cart battle in a middle of a ravaged supermarket. Laserbeams from walking black gnomes-like aliens. Blossoming romance between an insect exterminator and a garage employee (a very young and sporty Paula Poundtsone). Explosive finale earthings vs aliens - with a death ray malfunction. References to -obviously- Star Wars, War of The Worlds, E.T... it's a riot. And when you thought it was safe to go back to your seat, the movie has been shot in Stereovision. Which means... 3D? I mean, 3D?! i've always been a huge 3D lover and i never knew this one was.
But oh, hell, no widescreen edition on sight, no 3D version ahead et, yawn, no OST available. Anyone?
I could chop my fingers off for not founding anything at all. Except that horrible, pan and scan, man-eating, flesh-crawling, Flashdance-what a feeling UK DVD. (sigh)
