Movie Info

In this undistinguished parody of the sci fi genre, Robert Urich is Jason who leads a band of pirates in redistributing the wealth of the few to the coffers of the needy. He also joins up with Princess Karina Mary Crosby in searching for her father and a possible source of water in the next galaxy. Meant to be a campy romp through the sci fi genre, the film stops short of achieving a goal that should have been effortless. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

The robot pimp made me laugh, and that's it.

...it all gets pretty crazy pretty fast in an attempt to inject as many dumb antics as possible into as many minutes as the movie's budget can afford.

Everything about The Ice Pirates is done in fun, of course; it's just that much of it is overdone.

A throwaway scifi comedy perfect for Saturday afternoon television matinees.

An utterly terrible, bumbling mess of camp and sci-fi. And, for that reason, thoroughly enjoyable for its ridiculousness. Buxom space amazons riding unicorns? Space herpes? Conveyor-belt assembly-line castration devices? Bumbling chippendale battle robots?An overlooked B-Film that delivers an endless amount of
