Description

Have an ice day! It's a parched future, and water, the galaxy's only valuable commodity, is controlled by the evil Templars. Their only foes: a handful of daring Ice Pirates. Spoofy-goofy comedy, otherworldly special effects, spectacular space creatures, bedraggled 'bots and bicep-rippling swashbuckling highlight this cult fave. Robert Urich (Vegas), Mary Crosby (Dallas), Anjelica Huston (The Addams Family) and Ron Perlman (Hellboy) romp through a storyline involving a determined princess, the search for her missing father and a lost planet awash in sweet water. The manic, concluding time-warp battle is just ice-ing on the intergalactic cake. Dig in!

  • Loved it
Classic sci-fi comedy from the 80's. The whole concept was very creative. Laughed all the way through it.

  • Lasers. Swords. Robots. Pirates!!!
Loved this movie when I was 7, and still love it today. Would make a great remake considering Hollywood can’t think of anything original.

  • Kids love them
My grandsons love these. They’re just the right size to take with them in the car. They have held up well as the boys crash them into each other as they battle
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2026 by As described. Nice quality.

  • Wonderfully Weird in space
Well... The Ice Pirates... it is. A strange funny, not so funny space adventure (?) I think it is best described as a movie that you enjoyed as a kid and the when you rewatched 20 years later... you are less enamoured by it. I have a soft spot for it... I am not sure I recommend it beyond the fact that the cast is great. ... show more

  • "What happened to 'We rape! We pillage!' ?"
I saw Ice Pirates (1984) on cable in the mid to late 80's, and while I seem to remember thinking at the time the film wasn't all that funny, I recently decided to give it another chance as maybe there were nuances I wasn't fully able to enjoy when I was younger...and you know what? I didn't...I enjoyed it as much as I was ever going to enjoy it back when...it's not that the film is completely horrible as it does have a few funny moments, but for the most part the humor is corny, stupid, and generally lame serving up serving up a heaping pile of sexual innuendos and flatulence jokes, among other things. Co-written and directed by Stewart Raffill, the man behind such films as Mac and Me (1988) and Mannequin: On the Move (1991), the film stars Robert Urich (Turk 182!), Mary Crosby (Tapeheads), and Michael D. Roberts (Knight Rider, Manimal). Also appearing is Anjelica Huston (Prizzi's Honor), ex-pro football star John `Tooz' Matuszak (Caveman, The Goonies), Ron Perlman (Blade II, Hellboy), Jeremy West (Howling VI: The Freaks), John Carradine (The Astro-Zombies), and Bruce Vilanch, the writer responsible for much of the craptastic monologue humor witnessed on the Academy Award shows, at least when Billy Crystal was the host. After the galactic wars, water has become the galaxy's most valuable commodity only because there's so little of it to be had, most of which is controlled by the evil Templars from the planet Mithra. The Templars have nearly absolute power, but are plagued by a smattering of space-faring pirates who subsist by raiding various Templar convoys and stealing ice (which is how the water is transported). Among these pirates is a group led by Jason (Ulrich), including Roscoe (Roberts), Maida (Huston), and Zeno (Perlman), and, as the film opens, we see them attaching themselves to a Templar freighter, cutting their way through the hull and into...a bathroom featuring a flatulent alien (this is pretty much the extent of the comedy). While making their way through the ship, Jason comes across Princess Karina (Crosby) asleep in some sort of stasis chamber and suggests kidnapping her for a ransom, but is persuaded by the rest of the crew to forgo her over the real prize, which is the ice. Plans go awry as Jason and Roscoe (the rest manage to escape) are captured and sent to Mithra to become spandex-clad eunuch slaves (the `processing' scene is one of the funnier sequences in the film), but are saved by the princess as she wishes them to take her to see a man, believed hiding on a pirate moon, who may have been the last person to see her father whose an explorer, searching for a fabled `lost' planet, one that's rumored to have scads of water. Turns out the Templars, led by the evil Zorn (West), who looks like an uptight Eric Idle, are also searching for this planet and are in hot pursuit of Princess Karina, Jason, and his crew. Director Raffill will never win any awards for outstanding achievement for Ice Pirates, but it's certainly not the worst film he's ever done...that distinction would result in a three-way tie between the execrable E.T. rip-off Mac and Me (1988), a sequel to a film that should have never been in Mannequin: On the Move (1991), and the Denise Richards/Paul Walker suckfest teen movie Tammy and the T-Rex (1994) aka Let's Cash in on This Whole Jurassic Park/Dinosaur Fad Thing. At the very least, Raffill has made an attempt at redemption with his latest film Three (2004) as it features a few scenes with a topless Kelly Brook, who, incidentally, recently lost her lawsuit against the filmmakers as she was hoping to get the nekkid scenes removed for the DVD release (funny how this wasn't an issue until after her and costar Billy Zane became a couple...I guess Billy doesn't like to share)...but I digress...the material overall is pretty juvenile, but at least they were able to rope some very capable actors into the film, many of which I'm sure are probably still feeling the detrimental effects this movie surely had on their careers subsequent to its release, especially the very attractive Mary Crosby (daughter of Bing) and Michael D. Roberts, but hey, what the heck do I know? I'm just one person with an opinion. And then there's Anjelica Huston...I had forgotten she was in this film in a role of the Xena-like, sapphic, leather clad pirate warrior Maida always cutting men's heads off, and a little surprised as her more memorable roles stem from films like Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989), The Grifters (1990), and The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), but then I remembered she also appeared in Michael Jackson's 18 minute vanity project titled Captain EO (1986) he and Francis Ford Coppola made for Disney. Oh, and as far as John Carradine, he's in the film for all of about 2 minutes as the character of Supreme Commander in a scene that appeared to have absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the film other than the fact it was in the script. The most annoying element for me would have to be that of Bruce Vilanch, whom I don't despise because of his sexual preferences, but for the fact that he's just not funny. He plays some effeminate ruler of a world and his elite guard consists of a group of sexy weapon- wielding woman in leather bikinis (what a waste). The story itself is slow as the action sequences are far and few between. The production values are pretty decent, indication someone dropped a little coin on this film (or borrowed from other, already made sci-fi films), but despite their efforts, one will notice they couldn't keep the cheapness out completely...for example, near the beginning as Jason and his pirates are entering the ice hold of the Templar ship...we see a guard running to meet them, climbing down an aluminum latter propped up in the scene, looking much like one someone could buy at the local hardware store. The wide screen anamorphic (1.85:1) picture on this DVD will be a blessing to many fans of this cult favorite, as now they can ditch their worn VHS copies for this very excellent looking transfer. The Dolby Digital 1.0 comes through very clean and clear. The only special feature available is a theatrical trailer, but it could have worse...there could have been a commentary track by Vilanch.
