For the past 37 years or so (I'm 43 now) I have had random memories of myself at my grandma's house watching the scene with the guys on the conveyor belt moving toward the chomping metal jaw... for the past 37 years I had convinced myself that it was all a dream (because how could that be real???) I can't put into words the pure shock of seeing that scene on this episode!!!!! I never thought the day would come where one of my most random childhood memories...that I was convinced was a dream... would be proven to be a reality. I am just in utter shock right now... This episode just changed my life!

This being one of my favorite movies and serving as a resident keyboard warrior, I feel I need to say a few things here. I dont know how much of the dialog you guys hear, or if the volume really is that low. Turn it up, listen, they explain much of this madness. You guys are taking this way, WAY too seriously. It gives you exactly what you sign up for. Ice, Pirates, Space. Its a space opera with swashbuckling. I understand you probably dont want to ruin some parts, as its a recommended watch, but some of those things that bare out are the funniest parts (what the egg becomes). One of the funnier aspects is the thing you guys kept shitting on. Not to try and OVER explain. The robots are capable of emotion (as seen with the mommy daddy sad robot, Pimp bot and even the battle bots) . These robots know they are expendable. The Oil leak scene is one robot 'pissing' itself. The joke is they hate their lives and are even suicidal (Percy removing his own bolts). I mean at one point the guy pulls a gun on the robot to force it to go into battle. (lol) You talk them down, but they are easily one of the highlights. I assume because one of the robots may be a bit controversial you glossed over this? In this Time / Universe ...The robots are often the shock troops, the front line in in a boarding party in this world. The robots use melee weapons ergo Armor would make sense here. They have ranged weapons but it seems sparingly so, and probably are not much use vs. metal robots breaching and rushing you. I actually feel the robots are pulled off pretty convincingly. I understand why you glossed over the creature from the egg or the, possibly more hot button issue of one of the robots (Which, I think in context is fine and hilarious) but the Female Pirate Maida (Anjelica Huston) they meet is EASILY a high point and a great fight scene, you do the movie a disservice by glossing over some of this stuff. I also really enjoy the main character, Robert Urich as Jason, he has just enough charm and sleaze and over confidence. Heck even the 'person' they get the land cruiser from (and how) is pretty fun.... This is literally one of the only DVD I still own. I love this movie. Yeah I am guilty of liking stuff like battle beyond the stars, space hunter, or even star crash ... kind of? maybe? They are actually in a similar vein, once you ditch the patent pending light saber ALL sci-fi melee battles are more like pirate / clash of the titan / sword and sandal in space. This is LEAPS and bounds past many schlocky movies. You think this is rough? Try watching Blue Star, come back to this , it will look like blade runner. PS - *Moooo*uck yeah its a pimp bot! one of the best parts. Oh and also the big guy was spared from being redesigned, because he is a clergymen. How much of that is in name sake only and not practice, who knows. The full suit of 'armor' he is wearing is to make him basically a 'robot' guard for events. PPS - The Rain sex scene is mostly like a holodeck, I am not sure if the water is real, as they are dry after (continuity?) but even if it IS real, she is a space princess and quite rich.

Gotta luv the 80's for batshit crazy, kids sci-fi films ... a real guilty pleasure for those who enjoy surreal, mental films...

If you want more sci-fi trash then I'd recommend the hilariously bad Starcrash. It came out one year after the original Star Wars but somehow looks like it was made 40 years before. Caroline Munro in a space bikini for most of it.

Love The Ice Pirates. The lead, Robert Urich, was also in one of my favorite TV shows Spencer For Hire.

So I just found this channel and have been bingeing episodes, and was pleasantly surprised to see this on here, I must have watched this movie hundreds of times as a kid and never even considered it as a bad movie

This movie WAS on TBS in the 80s. I remember watching this dozens of times, and laughing my ass off every time.

One of my fondest memory is discovering this film with my father when I was a kid. He showed up one day with this movie under his arm and told me 'you're gonna like, son'. And I enjoyed it deeply. I remember both laughing at the 'black robot' joke. Yes, it was made with no money, but the script is s quite decent.

Got this DVD on my shelf. My parents introduced me to it when I was but a wee lad. I have no idea why they did, but then they introduced me to a lot of weird shit. It's great to see other people experience the confusing majesty of Ice Pirates for the first time. Also, you guys should watch Tough Guys Don't Dance, if you haven't already. It was written by Norman Mailer, if that sweetens the deal.

If you watched this as a kid or teen in the '80s, you would have loved it. I was an '80s kid in the '80s when I first watched it. Loved it then and I still do. I can't get any of my friends to watch it, probably because I have reputation for recommending movies like Street Trash, Tourist Trap, Freaked, Bad Channels, Seedpeople, and Killer Klowns from Outer Space. 9:30 Fun fact: The Jonestown cult didn't ackchually drink Kool-Aid. They used some off-brand knock-off. 20:23 Apone quote. 24:40 That's John Matuszak, yo! Yes, the same guy who played Sloth in 'The Goonies'! 29:25 Have you seen Street Trash?

Haven't seen this one in at least 20 or 30 years. As hilarious as I remember! Pure madness, and your reactions were priceless. 😆

3:01 The collective groan during the "comic relief" moment was so good. If someone ever asks me to define the word "annoyed" I will send them a link to this video and that moment.
