Nice effects though.

Great Film overall

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This movie is so ridiculously bad it's unbelievable. There are plot holes you could drive a Pachyderm 2000 Space Truck through (yes the pun is intended), that pun is funnier than any of the jokes in the movie, the special effects look like they were done by monkeys with a light bright, the acting is some of the worst ever (seriously did Dennis Hopper really need the money THAT bad that he would willingly do this movie? Not that I like Dennis Hopper that much as an actor but for crying out loud he's pretty famous he must have had other offers than this!), and it's just plain bad. It's really unrealistic but not in the "so intentionally bad it's funny" kind of way, it's just bad. This movie is awful. Predictable and sad.

Space Truckers is too vulgar and raunchy for the art house crowd, too clever for the great unwashed, and too silly for anyone expecting to be convinced that they're watching "real" science. The lines are deliberately dorky, the special effects entirely unconvincing (who cares?), and the movie adds up to complete absurdity. I've seen it more than once, and it gets funnier every time. For people who complain that Dennis Hopper must have been really hard up to have agreed to do it, what about Charles Dance, a superb actor (Mr. Tulkinghorn in the new PBS "Bleak House")? They seemed to get the jokes, played it with zest, and managed to make it fly. I thought it was hysterically funny.

I am a great fan of films that don't take themselves too seriously and space truckers is definitely one of these. I could see Dennis Hopper actually revelling in his cheesyness mainly because he normally takes on very serious roles. The costumes were exaggerated (charles dance for instance) and the graphics, although quite gaudy were actually pretty good for its time. I liked the design of the killer robots with their face mounted death rays and karate chopping antics.A fun film with silly antics. Good stuff7 / 10

Dennis Hopper must've been really hungry to do this movie. Atrocious special effects, very poor writing, cheesy dialogue, stupid-looking killer bio-robots. Never mind the blatent disregard for science. The awkward scene with the 2 young leads taking their clothes off. The best part of this movie was the pull-start cyber-penis on the wacked-out cyborg pirate captain. 2 out of 10 stars because I'm in a generous mood.
