Lust in Space

About This Movie

Lust in Space, from 1985, is this wild little comedy that takes a sharp satirical jab at both science fiction and sexuality. The story revolves around Vixana, a cold-hearted queen ruling over the planet Zitcom, who has outlawed anything remotely sexual. Enter the rebel princess, who bolts to Earth seeking all sorts of pleasures. It's got a quirky charm, with some memorable practical effects that really set the tone. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the film’s off-kilter vibe. The performances toe this line between campy and earnest, making the absurdity of the plot even more enjoyable. Definitely a unique entry in the genre, and you find yourself chuckling at its audacity.

Lust in Space has had a somewhat erratic distribution history, making original formats a bit tricky to come by. VHS copies pop up occasionally, but they tend to vanish quickly at auctions. There's a niche collector interest in its offbeat humor and curious blend of genres, particularly among those who appreciate the more eccentric side of 80s sci-fi comedies. Its scarcity adds an interesting layer for collectors looking for something that doesn't fit neatly into the mainstream catalog.
