REVIEW: Space Raiders (1983)
As sad as it may sound, this low-budget
Roger Corman-produced “Star Wars”
knock-off is one of my earliest cinematic
memories. The film follows the
adventures of a young boy who, during a
particularly clumsy shoot-out inside
some sort of futuristic warehouse,
sneaks aboard a spaceship piloted by a
crew of interstellar thieves, miscreants,
and degenerates. The kid — who some of
you may remember from the TV series
“Our House” — grins like a card-carrying
idiot throughout the entire picture,
leaving you to wonder why, exactly,
these unscrupulous ruffians are so
bloody concerned with returning him
safely to his home planet. The whole
sordid affair is as awful as it sounds,
maybe even more so. Podunk brilliance.
Written and directed by Howard R. Cohen. Starring Vince Edwards, David Mendenhall, and Patsy Pease. 84 minutes.
Overall Score: A wonky yet enjoyable 7 out of a possible 10.
