I have this crummy movie on dvd and I've scoured the movie for Max Von Sydow. Per IMDB, he has a cameo.
I have reviewed this movie HERE (http://www.badmovies.org/othermovies/icepirates/index.html).
I've seen this film like 20 times and I never once saw Max Von Sydow in it.
Hmmm...now I'll have to go back through it to see if I can see him.
Crummy?
Ice Pirates is a cult classic of sorts. From the crotch munching machine to the space herpe, this is one to view over and over again, imo.
I love Ice Pirates. Never noticed von Sydow in it, though.
The IMDB can have wrong information; happens now and then. I would check the movie credits and see if you can spot him (though sometimes actors go by assumed names when they are slumming).
It's crummy in a good way. It's got a low-rent, made-for-tv appeal. I actually saw this in the theatre when it came out.
Seeing as von Sydow was one of the stars of Strange Brew, I'm not sure what he'd consider slumming.
"The IMDB can have wrong information; happens now and then."
I did a little research online and found numerous sites (including the New York Times) that list Max von Sydow as one of the cast members. Unfortunately, NONE of them give any hint as to where he appears in the movie!
My only guess is that he appeared in a deleted scene.
