Starship Eros, helmed by Scott McHaley, is a 1980 sci-fi porn flick that's heavy on the cheese. With a plot that revolves around an all-female crew aboard the titular starship, the film offers a generous serving of girl-on-girl action, spiced up by encounters with a male robot servant, Quasar.
The narrative, though thin, sets the stage for a series of erotic encounters. The crew of the Eros find themselves in a battle with a hostile ship, barked commands, and flashing lights setting the tone for the ensuing action. The officer of the Feminist Regime Starfighter, a turtleneck-clad C-3PO lookalike, provides comic relief and a unique twist to the standard porn formula.
However, Starship Eros falls short in terms of overall quality and creativity. The acting, particularly by Becky Savage, is cringeworthy at best, and the potential of the director's homemade sci-fi sets is sadly squandered. While the film has its moments of intrigue, particularly for fans of the era's sci-fi aesthetic, it fails to rise above its low-brow roots.
Despite its shortcomings, Starship Eros remains a curious artifact of 1980s adult entertainment, a unique blend of science fiction and skin flick that, while not reaching for the stars, provides a diverting journey through the galaxy of human (and robotic) desires.
So, if you're in the mood for a retro romp through space, complete with cheesy sets and explicit encounters, Starship Eros might just be your ticket to another world. Just don't expect a cinematic masterpiece-this one's all about the journey to the final frontier of pleasure.
