Galaxina

Galaxina is a 1980 American science fantasy-comedy film written and directed by William Sachs. Shot on a low budget, the film stars 1980 Playboy Playmate of the Year Dorothy Stratten, who was murdered by her husband shortly after the film's release. Besides its homages to and parodies of science fiction mainstays Star Trek (1966), Star Wars (1977) and Alien (1979), this film also pokes fun at the Western genre. It won the Audience Award at the 1983 Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film. A film viewed by the characters in Galaxina is a clip from the 1960 Eastern bloc sci-fi film, First Spaceship on Venus. The clip is used because First Spaceship on Venus was released by Crown International Pictures in the U.S. in 1962. In 3008, the crew of the Intergalactic Space Police cruiser Infinity is on patrol duty in deep space. The ship is captained by the incompetent Cornelius Butt and his crewmen: his first officer, Sgt. Thor; pilot "space-cowboy" Pvt. Robert "Buzz" McHenry; Maurice, a black humanoid alien with pointy ears and bat wings; and Sam, an Asian man who quotes Confucius. Also aboard is Galaxina, a voluptuous blonde android servant, and Rock-Eater, a rock-eating alien prisoner confined to the brig.
