Summary: I want to eat your face!
Review: Before yesterday I had never even heard of this movie. I happened to stumble upon the DVD while I was in K-Mart, it was only 5 dollars. What did I have to loose? I might have bought it if it was normal priced. As it turns out it would have been worth it. This movie is in the tradition of a lot of Leslie Neilson's other films. So if you enjoy the Airplane/Naked Gun movies, this is a really great peice of work. It's never serious, but the slap stick isn't anyone as thick as in Naked Gun. Airplane had me dying. Here I found myself laughing at the Rasinski(sp?) character. And John was funny, just looking at him I would chuckle. Very querky stuff here. As a few of the other reviews said, I was in stitches when the monster sang "I want to eat your face" Along with his broadway dancing. I was really surprised by this movie, it's not a classic slap stick film. But it has a ton of definitely funny moments. And the god awful low budget looking sets really enhanced the movie and gave it that "cheap but funny" feel. And what other movie has a space ship in it that has turn signals?

Summary: EMPTY SPACE
Review: Filmed on a budget of probably no more than $1200, NAKED SPACE is one of the WORST Spoofs I've ever seen. Writer/director/co-star Bruce Kimmel bombards us with lame, humorless dialogue; a set that looks like Plan 9 from Outer Space with a budget cut, and the performances (save for Gerrit Graham's mugging) are unabashedly terrible. Never would I have thought Leslie Nielsen could be so unfunny, nor Cindy Williams and Patrick Macnee so obnoxious. As for Kimmel, what is it with the song and dance numbers? I Want to Eat Your Face was funny for about two seconds. I wasn't expecting a whole lot, but I did expect a laugh or two. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Summary: why, oh why, do I have to give it ANY stars?!?
Review: I rented this and hated it. I love Leslie's movies, but this was unspeakably stupid. I won "Wrongfully Accused" on an ebay auction and it included "Naked Space" for FREE. That ought to tell you something right there. Sadly, I couldn't persuade the guy to NOT send it to me. Maybe I'll have to try to unload my copy. It is far beyond terrible.

Summary: Classic Sci-Fi Comedy
Review: I saw this movie when I was about 10 or 12, and have been trying to remember the name of it ever since. I stumbled upon it the other day, and the movie is just as hilarious as I remember it. Basically, it's about this space crew who stumbles upon this protoplasm on an uninhabited planet. The protoplasm grows into a people-eating monster. His only form of communication is in the form of Vegas Showtunes such as "I Want to Eat Your Face". The doctor on the ship runs around most of the time trying to convince everyone that they should love this monster - that is until ... well, I let you see it. The scenery and acting is classic B-movie, but the comedy is non-stop. Leslie Nielson plays his role very sincerely, which only adds to the humor of the film.

Summary: A Very Well Made Spoof For Such A Modest Budget
Review: I stumbled across this movie when I was in college. My friend and I were wandering through the student center when we noticed Leslie Nielsen on the t.v. so we sat down and watched. We both loved it so much that we decided we had to find it and rent it again. Originally titled "Spaceship" but changed I assume to capitalize on "Naked Gun" fame; "Naked Space" is a hilarious spoof of most any alien movie. Written and directed by a virtual unknown (Bruce Kimmel) and starring Leslie Nielsen, "Naked Space" is a very funny slapstick B-movie. Instead of parodying multiple movies like most of the slapstick movies of today, the entire movie is one long parody. The jokes were very clever and the performances were very earnest, which made the jokes even funnier. The cast did very well with what was obviously a very small budget and ridiculous script. I laughed a lot. For those who like well made spoofs, I highly recommend this movie

Summary: every night naked space
Review: originaly i saw this with my best friend and his dad when i was perhaps 11 ish.... now, i am 21 and i rediscovered the cheap campyness of this film, i watch it every night, basically whenever i wake up i push it in the vcr and it plays. i've seen it more times than anyone has seen starwars. its one of those movies that you watch over and over and over and are in an eternal rut throughout, till the tape breaks, which it is close to.
seeing that the bountiful cheapness of the movie is directed toward perhaps younger people, then again, there is a lot of swearing and risky(ish) stuff, it is no surprise to me that this type of movie is no longer made. it has no target audience. and it will be one of the classics the way ed wood's and roger corman's movies are classic campys now. i would buy ten of these if i was you.

Summary: Even funnier than Phantom Menace
Review: Our university roleplaying group had a regular video evening, where Mark Kelly would inflict all manner of trash on us. That's how I first encountered 'Spaceship' (The UK title). The inspired daftness had us crying with laughter. It might not appeal to all senses of humour but we loved the singing and dancing monster, the sci-fi in-jokes and the Bad Science dialogue, delivered with beautifully straight faces.
"Their oxygen is compatible with ours".
Cross 'Alien' with 'Dark Star' and you get the general idea. It's shot on a shoestring budget, but that's part of the charm. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves without treating it like a joke. If you like oddball, "what were they on ?" stuff, you'll love 'Spaceship'.

I've spent more than two hours trying to track down a PAL video copy but it's not available anywhere. I love this movie so much that I'm going to order a NTSC copy and have it transferred. Then I'll make my friends watch it. They'll be grateful.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A funny, underrated movie.
Review: THE STORY: A group of space expolores found a jelly-like thing on another planet. There it grows into something evil.

MY THOUHTS: A very funny movie! The monster singing had me in stitches! The special effects are horrible, but I think they were meant to be like that. Very good! So why 4 stars? Well, the DVD is horrible! All it has is a chapter selection. No subtitles, commentaries, deleted scenes, no nothing!


Rent it!
