Title: Sci-Fi Space Movie Post by: Flick James on March 12, 2010, 05:13:42 PM I saw this one when I was a kid, the details may be a bit sketchy.
It's a sci-fi space movie from the mid to late 70's about a totalitarian government that rules over the galaxy. The main villain is this guy in a black cape and helmet, and you can always hear him breathing behind the mask, even when he's talking. There's this young man name Sky-something who finds these two robots, one is gold-colored and the other looks like a round-topped trashcan and beeps alot. I think he meets some old guy who used to be a big deal in the past and the old man convinces him to rescue some chick from the bad guys. There's a gigantic space station that looks like a planet, some cool space battles, and these badass weapons that are like swords except instead of metal blades they have laser beams. Actually the special effects were pretty impressive for the time. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Other than that, it could be Space Mutiny but I'm not sure. Title: Re: Sci-Fi Space Movie Post by: Flick James on March 15, 2010, 11:09:18 AM Okay, this was a joke that RCMerchant seemed to get. Unless, of course, the rest of you are joking back, which which case, good on ya. :cheers:
I was decribing Star Wars Episode 4 as if it were a film I has seen years ago and couldn't quite remember all of it. Come on, folks. Title: Re: Sci-Fi Space Movie Post by: Andrew on March 15, 2010, 11:43:27 AM I would say that everyone understood the joke. Trevor definitely understood it, considering his response of "The Hidden Fortress."
