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!

Works great. I bought it because of nostalgia and was not disappointed. It's a hilarious movie.

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

Robots, Chainmail, And John Carradine As The Supreme Commander!
Whoa. "The Ice Pirates" was far more than I bargained for. I knew this was a camp classic that nearly ruined the careers of everyone involved, but in retrospect it's a train wreck that needs to be seen to be believed. That the film lampoons (or attempts to lampoon) multiple famous movies, particularly "Star Wars", is obvious. The gags are generally below the Mel Brooks "Spaceballs" level, but like a train wreck, you can't look away. After an initial bout of robots versus chainmail, we learn that water is now the scarcest commodity in the galaxy, and pirates routinely hijack freighters full of ice. The sets and effects are amazingly cheesy, the screenplay is terrible, and the acting matches perfectly. There's even a princess on a ship and some laser fights. Where have I seen that before? Anyway, my favorite part of the movie is the appearance of John Carradine who is looking even older and grumpier than normal in an aluminum foil jumpsuit with sequins. He is, of course "The Supreme Commander". Despite wanting so badly to be a lighthearted "Star Wars" clone, this really looks more like a badly acted game of "Asteroids" instead. Much like another famous space film, the good guys get taken prisoner, and after a brief "power to the people" subplot that goes nowhere there is a pitiful automated shaving and castration scene that is wholly unnecessary. Because that's obviously subtle and nuanced, it leads into an unbelievable masquerade ball and robotic pimp, which is likewise beyond belief. Because this is a plot composed of numerous tiny subplots, we next get an apparent homage to "Alien" with an egg hatching scene. (This is actually referred to as the "raucous tubeworm" or "space herpes" subplot.) There's a clear "Star Wars" cantina scene knockoff (complete with latex alien picking space mucus from its nose hole), all of which, naturally, leads to a frog woman dragster driver taking the cast to a miniature burro and javelina farm in the desert. There they meet a crotchety time warp survivor and fight bounty hunters in the "Mad Max" part of the movie, while the gopher puppets bring "Caddyshack" to mind. Fearless leader Jason (Robert Urich) is motivated to find the legendary seventh world with its water processing plant (any guesses as to what planet that turns out to be?) After the obligatory unicorn goring, disembodied head John Carradine comes back as a projection (like Leia did) and gives them the coordinates to the seventh world. Make sense so far? This leads to an unpleasant spaceship ride complete with burros and javelinas in an enclosed area, and tawdry romance in the "passion storm". (Gag! Wretch!) There's a predictable climax and happy ending and after going through the time warp and ageing the heroes find the legendary seventh world, which is of course Earth, and prattle on incessantly about how beautiful it is. The end. How this didn't utterly destroy the careers of Robert Urich and Anjelica Huston I will never comprehend but I enjoyed this in a way that was likely not intended. None of the jokes or premises were entertaining, but the entire "everything and the kitchen sink" amalgam made me laugh repeatedly at how ludicrously bad this movie is. It is relentlessly horrible, but it's so bad that it comes full circle to good in spite of itself. If you like bad sci-fi epics, spoofs of dubious quality lampooning many much better movies, or just John Carradine shining in spangled glory, "The Ice Pirates" is a groanfest not to be missed. ... show more

Pirates in space...
OK, that makes it sound like something out of an old Buck Roger's serial. Yet, this spoof of every sci-fi theme, idea, and movie is a delight to watch. Tons of puns, a space herpy, sword carrying robots, space battles, combat and a somewhat interesting plot. Water. There isn't enough water and out there, somewhere, is a planet full of it. Only problem is everybody thinks the planet is some kind of myth. So nobody has tried to find it. But one Princess, played by Mary Crosby, may know where it is - for her father may have found it. Maybe. Who knows. Yet the pirates end up having to help her - or end up like your male cat. Who is not longer *cough* male. If you get my drift. The point is, those in power do not wish the planet to be found. One of those in power is John Carradine, a ruler on life-support, who does not wish to release his power or his body. So it becomes a quest-adventure in which the Heroes must find the water planet before The Powers That Be. Oh, and it seems some other pirates want to find the planet also. Also starring Anjelica Huston, John Matuszak, and Ron Perlman this movie is full of scenes that are just plain laugh-out-loud funny. I mean, two words - Pimp Robot. Enjoy! ... 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.
