Vegas in Space (1991)

Absolute favorite
To fully enjoy this movie you have to be *into* it. This movie isn't about high production values or superb acting.

It's about a group of creative people who got together and had fun acting silly and making a movie. Fortunately, Vegas in Space is extremely entertaining and unpredictable from start to finish.

I love this movie.

Bad...in a Good way
First off, this is a horrible movie. All the actors are dressed in outrageously campy drag, with cheesy lines, and a plot that Ed Wood would have been ashamed of. You can see the fishing wire holding up the asteroids; the cityscape of Vegas is clearly made out of cardboard and Barbie doll accessories. It's not even a B-rate movie. It's closer to P or Q.

That being said -- the actors KNOW it's a horrible movie. And if you just want to sit back and do a Mystery Science Theater on the thing, it's great. It's funny, cheesy, campy, and horrible, with more in-jokes and jabs and self-mocking than you can shake a stick at. When the actors make comments about how the Queen of Police's palace looks "kinda like a movie set" and that a nightmare is just "a bad dream sequence", you have to take the movie with a grin and a light heart.

Oscar material it's not. But it's great for what it aims to be -- a campy, ridiculous free-for-all.

This movie ...!
Ignore all the "I loved it" reviews. They smoked way WAY way too much before watching it. This is a low budget, slow paced, boring, plotless waste of time. But at least the acting is bad! In fact I think the 'actors' smoked more than the those reviewers did.
"Drag is cool, but this movie is not". We were forced to turn it off and sent a group to the video store for an alternative; and our group has a pretty high tolerance for bad movies (heck, we launched into this one without an alternative on hand).
Save yourself some time and brain cells, buy a better movie.
