The Last Starfighter's Actors - Now and Then

The Last Starfighter Actors - Now and Then
The Last Starfigther is one of those movies you miss from your childhood or teenager years and not because it was a blockbuster or because the actors were famous or something like this, but just because you have a emotional relationship with it. 9r9rdOde
Some other movies have grown into you after some years specially movies from the 80s. Probably you have the same feeling I do, it's a mix of nostalgia and magic. Weird isn't?
The Last Starfighter is a 1984 American space opera film directed by Nick Castle.
The film tells the story of Alex Rogan made by actor Lance Guest, a teenager recruited by an alien defense force to fight in an interstellar war. It also features Robert Preston, Dan O'Herlihy, Catherine Mary Stewart, Norman Snow, and Kay E. Kuter.
The Last Starfighter, along with Disney's Tron, has the distinction of being one of cinema's earliest films to use
extensive "real-life" computer-generated imagery (CGI) to depict its many starships, environments and battle scenes.
The Last Starfighter was Robert Preston's final role in a theatrical film. The character of Centauri, a "lovable con-man",
was written with him in mind and was a nod to his most famous role as Professor Harold Hill in The Music Man.
There was a subsequent novelization of the film by Alan Dean Foster, as well as a video game based on the
production. In 2004, it was also adapted as an off-Broadway musical.

One oversight on this list that i feel needs mentioning, is the actress who played Maggy’s Granny. The actress was Meg Wiley, who was probably most famous for playing the Keeper in Star Treks pilot episode “The Cage” aka The Menagerie ep 1 and 2

[@cinemapop]

You're right!

[@douglasschmidt2869]

Wow so many Star Trek connections!

[@cinemapop]

Yeah, I was really surprised too@@douglasschmidt2869

[@douglasschmidt2869]

@@cinemapop it’s a shame I wasnt a writer on DS9. I would have had a Last starfighter video game on the space station! Probably in one of Quarks Holosuites. They never did anything fun like that. Except in some time travel episodes that never made sense. Star Trek is the worst when it comes to time travel!

[@cinemapop]

@@douglasschmidt2869 Great idea, I loved it!

[@Lucifer.6.6.6.]

One of my all-time favourite movies ,and you made it just that bit better nice video.

Always liked this movie. 😊

[@hubertpilk]

Excellent, Maggs is still a fox

[@scarboroughjames7]

I remember having a crush on her when I saw this movie.

[@jeffmckenzie7282]

Loved "The Last Statfighter". A really good concept. Wish more had been done with it.

[@charlesbrentner4611]

You left out Grannie. The actress was a Telosian back when they made "The Cage" pilot episode of Star Trek.

[@RVZNKaraoke]

This is a favorite of mine...I didn't realize Will Wheaton was in it...

[@cinemapop]

Yeah. It's a shame his lines were cut out of the movie in the edition room. I like him specially in TBBT.😂

[@cinemapop]

Thanks for your comment!

[@RVZNKaraoke]

@@cinemapop I have this at home. I will have to rewatch it, looking for him!

[@cinemapop]

Right, but you can barely see him. Only in some scenes where they were fooling around or at the end when you see him for 2 secs

[@RVZNKaraoke]

@@cinemapop Good to know!

[@billcrockett695]

Thank you for this video!!! I've loved Last Starfighter since I was a boy in the 80s.

[@marcussmith4913]

lance guest was awesome. Surprised he didn't get more movie roles. He is an underrated actor.

[@DMS-pq8]

Being in Jaws the Revenge didn't help

[@andrewpearce1723]

Such an underrated movie.

[@ElricX]

I love this movie! And Catherine Mary Stewart is breath taking!

[@georgiaredding5435]

loved this movie; Robert Preston is the best

[@robertlyness4883]

Loved the film; and upon reflection, oddly enough there WAS NOT an actor, or a character that I didn't like! Well done, cast and crew! Very very well done. And, I might add, a very ENTERTAINING film as well. Kudos all around.

[@josemoreno3334]

I like this SCI FI movie. Great movie and great cast. Good video. 👍

[@David-yw2lv]

Kay E Kuter played Newt Kiley on Petticoat Junction and Green Acres.

[@raymondmeyers8983]

I remember how much I loved this movie when it was released in the 80s. The special effects certainly don’t hold up anymore but it’s still very enjoyable to watch today.

[@kyleking284]

WOW!! A lot of notable actors came out of this movie! Still one of my all time favorite Sci-Fis Great Video Love the music😁👍🌹💃💃💃💃💃

[@cinemapop]

Thanks a lot!!!

[@WhitePOWERranger1]

She’s one of the most beautiful ever.

[@xFallN1x]

A great movie to grow up with . Look forward to watching with my kids.

[@michaelallen5461]

I agree! But...I tried to get my kids, 14 and 9 years old, to watch it, they made it 15 minutes and couldn't accept the special effects. I reasoned with them about the storyline, the characters, etc. they don't care. It just feels too outdated to them. So I enjoyed watching it alone!

[@mattdavis4248]

I had a crush on Catherine Mary Stewart as a kid after watching this movie, and now I have another crush on her after seeing how amazing she still looks.

[@SunBunz]

Awesome video! I had no idea so many were on Star Trek, even as characters I THOUGHT sounded familiar but couldn't place it! That's so cool!

[@cinemapop]

No problem. Thanks for your comment!

[@angelrivers3910]

I expected a sequel and was sadden it did not happen.

[@DMS-pq8]

Catherine Mary Stewart was in several (At least for me) iconic 80s movies. The Last Starfighter, Night of the Comet, Mischief and Weekend at Bernie's

[@brianellis6517]

It's one of my top 10 space movies ever ✨️

[@JGComments]

Thanks! Great video! I somehow didn’t get bored of the music either lol.

[@TheInsaneupsdriver]

It sucks they never made a sequel, the ending left that wide open.

[@douglascarrington9345]

interesting and informative, thanks.

[@gazz4427]

They need to make this happen. The Last Star Fighter was one of my childhood favourites. Blending today's cgi/vfx with the continued story would create a great movie. I'd be happy for the Russell duo to be a part of it, so far they have both been excellent in Monarch, so I would imagine they would be great in a sequel to this movie too.. It has my vote, and I imagine hundreds of thousands of others vote too.

[@larrypierce3447]

Growing up this was one of my favorite movie to watch and funny as hell and it had a serious side to it

[@SheyD78]

It had it's flaws, but this was such a great movie for people growing up in this era. Like anything was possible. If they ever remake this it better be perfect!

[@scottprice1943]

Loved this movie.....oh Catherine Mary Stewart had a big impression on me😊

[@RTS907]

How is Mary Stuart just as beautiful as she was 40 years ago? We need to find what fountain she drinks her water!

[@silvernova354]

Thanks for this - one of the great movies from my childhood. I had always wondered why Alex's mother looked familiar to me and it turns out she was in Hill Street Blues!

"Star Trek: the NEXT Generation"

[@thegiftedone]

Trippy 🤙🏼

[@InnaGottaDavida]

I found an anniversary edition of this film on DVD some time ago and it included a making of featurette that caught up with a few of the actors from the film including the leads. It was really interesting to see how they turned out. The book Armada by Ernest Cline, who also wrote Ready Player One, borrows heavily from the plot of this film.

[@ebhark2012]

As great as this movie is, I'd love to see a remake!

[@cinemapop]

Me too, but I'm pretty much afraid of what the result would be...

[@ebhark2012]

@cinemapop I'm going out on a limb and hope if they remake it, it would be more aggressive.

[@cinemapop]

For sure, and unfortunately they will probably destroy for us og's, you know what I mean. I hate when producers do that. Like they did with 21 Jump Street . Yikes.@@ebhark2012

[@ebhark2012]

@cinemapop I understand, and mostly agree. But as an example, I LOVED how they remade Battlestar Galactica. Brutal, gritty and sexy.

[@cinemapop]

You got a point, I'll give you that.

[@patmcbride9853]

Funny that Will Wheaton was in it. I wonder if anyone in the movie had lines telling him to shut up.

There was a one character I like to know more about. When Alex gets the alien planet and gets out of the car, there is a female alien that guides him.. She the one that says you hear English. She looks so familiar....even with the makeup on. Anyone know if she has done anything else?

[@jasondunbar3592]

I really hope they get a sequel film

[@djplayskeys]

Wow you need to have someone proof read and edit your scripting. A lot of errors with spelling, punctuation, and grammar. That being said, very interesting and well put together info.

[@briandaleske5139]

I hope that retired, actress star (CATHERINE MARY NURSALL) wish comes true, and she gets her chance at directing many movies.

[@ApolloRacer]

Wil Wheaton's name was misspelled. He spells it with only one L.

???? Will Wheaton!??? The main character had No friends other than the girl he liked... ? Who did will play ? Was it the guy with the car that liked the same girl ? I can not EVER in 50 years remember him in it at all ! ? Please remind me? Cos it couldn't have been his friend ?

There are rumors of a sequel ou reboot since 2012. Can you imagine that? Even Spielberg wanted to do a reboot and the author said no. Thanks for your comment, and please finish your sentence (LOL)

@@cinemapop with very few alive and able, I doubt it will capture the feel of the original sadly. (Cast)

The story could be the Ko-dan reach Earth, and Supreme Rylan Commander Rogan must lead the Starfighter attack force to intervene.

They should rewrite and modernize this movie. I.e a squad of five online video players recruited…. Like a live action isekai movie.

I think retired actor star (CHRISTOPHER HEBERT) should think about, trying his luck being a side character, in ComicBook movies. Or maybe try his luck, in getting to play a role in a few, of the many popular shows, that are going on now.

[@HARLEYMLM1966]

Great information, shitty music

[@briandaleske5139]

I strongly feel that (THE LAST STARFIGHTER) stories, should be made into a show series now.

[@williamgraham9419]

I know with today's film technology, a new one could be made. But, with the level of really bad writers we have now. And political messaging hijacking any good story. I do not believe they would do this gem right. Whether it was to remake the same story, or a sequel/Prequel, they would never captured the magic of the original. I know the special effects crew wanted another year in production to get the computer effects to look more realistic. Was still a very new technology. But the studio heads wanted to just push it out the door and move on.
