Space Truckers ★★ 1997 (PG-13)

Sci-fi spoof about space haulage-truckers in the 21st century. Veteran hauler John Canyon (Hopper) accepts a dangerous assignment when he agrees to transport some sealed containers to Earth—no questions asked. Canyon, girlfriend Cindy (Mazar), and newbie driver Mike (Dorff) have their ship boarded by space pirates, led by Capt. Macaunudo (Dance), who's part-machine. The cargo turns out to be murderous androids, sent to conquer Earth. Canyon and his crew must perform various heroics to save the planet! Lots of campy bad taste. 97m/C VHS, DVD . IR Dennis Hopper, Stephen Dorff, Charles Dance, Debi Mazar, George Wendt, Shane Rimmer, Vernon Wells, Barbara Crampton; D: Stuart Gordon; W: Ted Mann; C: Mac Ahlberg; M: Colin Towns.
