I love this film, despite its cheesiness. It's loads of fun, with a great cast. Robert Urich made for a great space-going swashbuckler, with tongue firmly planted in cheek. The film is filled with great character actors and decent special effects. Some of the comedy is pretty lame and it goes south when Bruce Villanch enters the picture, but picks up at the end.
The film is a blend of Star Wars, Errol Flynn, Monty Python/Mel Brooks, and romantic comedy. It's a bit ham-handed at times, but gets enough elements right to be entertaining.
Robert Urich is likable as the lead and is equally good at the action and comedy. Mary Crosby makes a decent love interest, but the pirate crew are more interesting: Ron Perlman, Anjelica Houston, John Matusak, and Michael D. Roberts. They make for a great ensemble and have some of the best lines and scenes.
If you want some good old B-movie goofiness, you can't go wrong here.
