Regular readers will know how much I like spotting toys appearing in films. Well here's one spotted by ace movie blogger Screenphiles, who's keen eyes saw the Space 1999 Eagle on the side of a spaceship in the Star Wars rip-off Starcrash. Is it a kit part?
Read Screenphile's entire post about Starcrash. It's as cool as Princess Leia's hair do!

ReplyDeleteCheck out the 1979 film Shape of Things to Come which starred Jack Palance and Barry Morse. The main ship in that is full of kit parts . The front end is totally recognizable as part of the Aurora Star Trek space station kit.
ReplyDeleteIn the 1978 TV mini series ''The Return of Captain Nemo' the enemy Raven submarine is almost completely made out of MPC/Airfix Eagle kits parts : http://reflectionsonfilmandtelevision.blogspot.co.uk/2009/04/cult-tv-flashback-71-return-of-captain.html
