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.
Stupid, stupid, stupid... but amusing.
...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.
It'll really frost you

The cast is epic (check an early Ron Perlman) but they are all let down by this weird plot that makes no real sense.
Its almost fun but a little too off the wall too I'm afraid, it tries to fit in way too much into one film and the effects are pretty dodgy as well, dodgy now and dodgy back then. I liked it as a kid but now it just seems rather stupid and cheesy, and shouldn't it be called 'The Water Pirates'?
