Name that Film

[scotpens]

I was going to say Moon Zero Two but I don't think it is...

Guess again.

The picture was made by a two-man writing/producing/directing team known for low-budget sci-fi movies. One of them is the son of an opera singer.

Nobody else wants to take a crack at it? Is anyone out there? Anybody?

(chirp . . . chirp . . . chirp . . .)

One more clue: It takes place on a planet whose name is frequently the butt of jokes.

Journey to the Seventh Planet? If I'm right, someone else can put up a pic. I have to leave.

The gentleman wins a Kewpie doll!

Love the standard-issue Air Force flight helmets with bolt-on homemade plexiglass visors.

^^ Please excuse the three consecutive posts, but this was getting shoved to the bottom of page 2 and someone really ought to know this film.

Come on, folks, you're not trying! It's a British picture that co-starred a young and sexy Vanessa Redgrave. And it's not Blow-Up.

Oh! Morgan! I knew I should recognize that fellow, young David Warner.

ETA: Will someone step in for me? I will be busy for a while. Thanks!

The Ice Pirates?

Yes

 

[Evil Twin]

^Ah, one of those obscure 80's films I have only the vaguest memory of.

Up next:

 

[Starkers]

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen?

 

[Evil Twin]

Nope.

 

[Goliath]

Jefferson in Paris?

 

[Evil Twin]

Nope!

Nope.

It's based on a classic 19th century novel.

It came out in the last 10 years.

Napoleon is in it.

 

[Lonemagpie]

The Count Of Monte Cristo with Guy Pearce?

 

[Evil Twin]

Correct!

 

[Lonemagpie]

Correct!

It's a while since I watched that- I'll have to dig it out...
