Unbelievably freakin' bad......

My cousin dragged me to see this movie in the theaters 20 years ago and I'm still talking about how awful it is. It is just so freakin' bad -- worse than the "Star Wars Holiday Special" bad. Mostly, this kid carries an alien bug around in a beer can for half the movie before releasing it on some other planet where it will undoubtedly (unbeknownest to him) either a.) die a terrible, horrible death or b.) over-run the planet's ecosystem and destroy life on the planet. BAD, BAD, BAD movie. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE IF YOU WATCH THIS MOVIE!!! That's how terrible this steamin' pile of celluloid is. Even these strong words cannot convey to you just how unbelievably bad this "movie" is. If only I could get that time in my life back........

Trivia
A majority of the sets in this movie had been used in previous films made by New World Pictures.

Goofs
During the first space fight, Hawk says that "there are only two of them, and six of us". However, we get to see at least ten company fighters get blown up during the course of the battle.

Quotes
Hawk: Peter, listen to me. Things are always happening that we don't expect. You can think of them as an ordeal, or you can think of them as a great adventure. It's the adventurers who make it.
