The Ice Pirates
1984 · TMDB 5.7
Directed by Stewart Raffill
In the not too distant future, where by far the most precious commodity in the galaxy is water. The last surviving water planet was somehow removed to the unreachable centre of the galaxy at the end of the galactic trade wars. The galaxy is ruled by an evil emperor presiding over a trade oligarchy that controls all mining and sale of ice from asteroids and comets.
Why it matters
A space opera comedy from Stewart Raffill, where water is the most valuable commodity in the galaxy and a crew of pirates gets tangled up with a princess and a robot with a samurai sword. It is knowingly silly and proud of it.
