This movie was completely insane. I wasn't always sure that it was intended to be quite so goofy but I really can't see any other explanation. It is Spaceballs-level jokiness but without the clear sense of parody. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, an intergalactic war has left water the most valuable resource imaginable. The only source is controlled by Space Templars but intrepid pirates risk their lives to rob the Templars' ships. Two pirates, Jason (Robert Urich) and Roscoe (Michael D. Roberts), are captured after attempting such a robbery and sold as slaves to Princess Karina (Mary Crosby). She wants them to help her find her father who went missing while trying to find a mysterious planet made entirely of water.
This might be the most 80's film that was ever made. You should see it immediately, if not for the gonzo plot and loads of innuendo, then for the chance to see Anjelica Huston as a goth punk sword master and Ron Perlman as the comic relief.
