review GALAXINA (1980)
Galaxina is a low budget 1980 space spoof that would normally be long forgotten except that it is remembered for being the first starring role of 1979 Playmate of the Year, Dorothy Stratten who was savagely murdered by her estranged husband two months after the film's release. Stratten played the title role, a beautiful female robot that space cop Thor (Stephen Macht) falls in love with and then has to rescue when a mission goes awry. Without the infamy of Stratten being a cast member, Galaxina is 90 slow paced minutes of flat jokes, cheap production value and so-so SPFX elevated slightly by some 80s nostalgia. One also has to also question the logic of a movie that hires and promotes a Playboy Playmate of the Year as the star and then keeps her completely covered up the whole time. TRIVIA: frequent John Carpenter director of photography Dean Cundey lensed Galaxina between The Fog and Escape From New York.

haha cool to see this movie get some attention. It's like a shitty version of Barbarella.
Yeah , this was BAD . Poor Dean Cundey .
