Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com
The amiable sci-fi spoof The Ice Pirates has earned a small but vocal cadre of admirers thanks to its go-for-broke gags and a healthy disrespect for outer space epics like the Star Wars and Star Trek franchises. An atypically goofy Robert Urich stars as the leader of a band of space pirates who kidnap a princess (Mary Crosby of Dallas fame), and then join her quest to find a mythical planet that can solve the universe's water shortage. A completely game (shameless?) cast (which includes Anjelica Huston in fetching leather gear, Ron Perlman, John Matuszak, and fantastic film icon John Carradine) and Stewart (The Philadelphia Experiment) and Raffill's breezy direction help sell the funniest bits (most notably, the notorious "space herpy" scene, and the frantic time-warp finale) and make the more leaden jokes palatable. --Paul Gaita

5 out of 5 stars Early SCI FI, What Fun   October 30, 2008
Sean Turnquest
The stuff that we thought was so cool. This fits right up there with Buck Rodgers, Battle Star Galatica, Star Wars (the orignal) and Space Balls. Early Sci-Fi is too funny. Love them all

M. Sellers (State College, PA USA)
A guilty sin. This is a bad movie with really good actors. Probably one of my favorite Robert Urich movies, just for the silly slapstick and dialogue. A great way to spend a snowy winter day.


3 out of 5 stars Blast from the past   September 28, 2008
S. Jain (Appleton, WI United States)
This campy romp in space is one of the movies that prompted movies like Spaceballs and other sci-fi slapstick comedy, but not as funny.


5 out of 5 stars Stupid Fun   July 28, 2008
J. Ramirez (Indianowhere)
What can I tell you, if you're looking for Hamlet then why did you type "Ice Pirates" into amazon? If how ever your looking for a non-stop train of low-brow weapons-grade hyphon-rich fun that will lower your IQ then you've hit a yatzee!

This one is in the same vein as Spaceballs, totally 80's humor with a lot of Mel Brooksesque jokes throughout!
