A little change in cars and clothes, and it would fit in perfectly in this generation, I know, wierd for a 13-year-old to like an 80's movie, but I'm a big fan of Robert Beltran. I wish they would show it on more movie sites than just scifi, and more often. That would be cool. They should have Robert Beltran (Hector) on the cover, he played a big role in this movie I just saw it for the first time, in my opinion, it was awesome.

I imagine to an 8-year-old, none of that makes much difference. Thanks for the comments, Piper!

The Last Starfighter was pretty cool during all of the Earth scenes, but is laughable during the stuff in outer space with the “Kodan Empire”. I imagine to an 8-year-old, none of that makes much difference.

Thanks for the comments, Piper!

And I can't believe 4 of those dollars were mine.What protected them? Aluminum or steel or lead? Very bizarre. Day zombies always freaked my shit out too. Oh memories.

Awesome review for a movie I'd watch again in a heartbeat. I hadn’t thought about this movie in ages, but I remember it crystal clear – and I first saw it too many years ago to count.
