ROFL!
I’d forgotten all about this until today, it popped into my scope again.
1980’s vintage, at its cheesy finest!

So:
favorite thing about it?
Not sure if it’s the analog pushbuttons for “sensitive processes” or the vintage bike appearance.
Favorite scene of those shown here?
K5 Blazer rolling down a hillside
Cheesiest thing?
K5 Blazer, complete with 1/2 a Vandura on the bed as a “camper shell” out running (anything ROLF!!!) cop cars.
Runner up for cheesiest?
“Vertical lift”. ROFL!
2nd runner up cheesiest?
“Laser” weapon. “No charge for the tuneup.” Oh my sides!

Here’s some sci-fi cheese with John Boy Walton, Stone Cold Robert Vaughn, and a singing Cowboy Hannibal Lecter with some strange aliens thrown in for good measure.

It even has an uncredited director who is well known for his schlock - Roger Corman.

When I think of Sci-Fi cheese, I always think of “Barbarella”. Which is what I also think of when I think about Sci-fi soft core.

Street Hawk was one of my favorites! I have season one. Seeing Christopher Lloyd as the bad guy in the pilot is priceless

What was it with the 80s and the “smart” tactical vehicles?

“Hmm, cars nowadays say stuff like ‘lights are on… lights are on …’ - what if we made the cars say smart things?!”

Sci-fi cheese? Zardoz. Sean Connery in diaper. It’s the wave of the future.

Wow. The 70’s were NOT kind to Sean Connery.
And that slide down the hill @ 1:41 was NOT kind to his stunt double’s butt, either!

Are there cars NOW which say that?
I recall the 1980’s Nissans (and similar) saying it, but haven’t seen a modern car do it…

EDIT: when’s a door not a door? when it’s a jar! ROFL

EDIT II: earlier Nissan. Sexy!

Anything from Plan 9 from Outer Space. Watching the cardboard grave stones wiggle when bump
ed, after Bela Lugosi died durning filming they continued on with a guy holding a cape across his face the rest of the scenes like he’s Dracula.

I actually read this book (might have been based on the movie…not sure…?)

(Zardoz trailer)
Wow. That’s even more appalling than I remember. I’ve apparently repressed.

You DO know there’s even a flimsy plot reason for the name Zardoz too, right?

(Would hate to give away spoilers) :stuck_out_tongue:

Hannibal Smith, I’m thinking. Seems like that guy has a plan…

The best thing to come from that [franchise] was the band. The film was overall unwatchable. Of course, Jane Fonda was Hanoi Jane, the Fitness Tape Queen by the time I had opportunity to see it, so it may have lost some polish…

MegaFarce? Oh MY!

Leftover 50’s hype for the future + the spreading personal computer craze of the 70’s?
Blue Thunder should be on that poster instead of the A-Team van. The van wasn’t smart at all. Except the red stripe. That was smart…

I did not.
You made me read!
I can’t decide whether this seems interesting (for all the high school film-crew symbolism) or scary (for 007 in a nappy, pony tail, and Zapata 'stache YIKES!).
Right now I’m wondering if Zed has a last name…

My 85 300zx did that…sometimes. Was always a nice surprise when it did actually work.
