Starcrash is a gloriously cheap rip off
















5 second plot: Stella Star and her team have to stop an evil count from carrying out his evil plan. They have to travel through the galaxy to look for clues and run into a whole lot of unfriendlies while they're at it.

5 second review: It's a cheap ass Star Wars rip off. The dialogue and special effects are so bad that it's laugh out loud funny from time to time. But the actors play it straight. That's the beauty. David Hasselhoff is in here with awesome hair. There's a hilarious smart ass robot. And the star of the movie is the gorgeous Caroline Munro. She is running around in tight bikinis like there's no tomorrow.

IMDb score: 4/10

The Driver is mega cool
















5 second plot: Cowboy, a.k.a. The Driver is a getaway car ... ahem... driver. He's the best in the business. A dirty cop tries to set him up. The result: lots of cool car chases. Now I know where Ryan Gosling got his mad driving skills from.

5 second review: This guy doesn't even wear a seatbelt while driving like a maniac. He's that cool. He doesn't even blink when he's being shot at (while driving like a maniac). He does some weird crazy shit though (crazy '70s shit). At one point he totally destroys a dudes car just because he doesn't want to work with him. You coulda just said so man. And what's up with this weird van the cops are driving?

Mork & Mindy Season 1 Episode 1-3
















5 second plot: Mork is an alien who’s been sent to earth to observe us. He ends up living with Mindy who will try to teach him how to blend in. Mork has been to earth before. That previous time he met the Fonz, who tried to teach him about dating. It didn’t work out well.

5 second review: This is the perfect platform for a comedian like Robin Williams. He can do lots of voices and make a big fool of himself. You can tell he's having a blast. The humor is a bit simple (from back in the day) and the visuals did not withstand the test of time. But if you're looking for old school fun, this could be your thing.
