Loved this movie!!! Still do (and I'm 62).
i'm 57 ) and i still love this movie... :-)
I saw The Last Starfighter right after Star Trek: The Search for Spock, which in comparison, was boring! My Best Movie of the Year. I’m 64.
I'm 63 and this is 2020, and I still get excited just hearing about this film and still get the urge to want to see it for a few more times. Sadly, VHS tapes don't have a long lifespan and the players don't last more than 2 or 3 years becoz the head (even after cleaning) gets worn out rather easily (plus other mechanical malfunctions).
I hope I find a DVD enhanced copy.
10 years ago they came out with q 25 year anniversary DVD. May still get it online. It's better because it has footage on making and some interviews as well. I got it and it's worth it.
I'm 60 and really enjoyed this film. I have wondered if they revisited it and changed the CGI to something more modern but left the actors alone because they did a pretty decent job. This interview says a lot about Lance Guest, What a nice guy, sincere. Should they do a sequel, he has to be in it as a parent or some kind of prominant role along with Catherine Mary Stewart.
Catherine Mary Stewart was, and still, very beautiful.
Definitely....she was the Rachel mcadams of the 80's
You’re right
Had the biggest crush on her growing up.
Check out "Mischief". Her and Kelly Preston are both incredible.
Developed a huge crush on her in Night of the Comet. Wish I could find that on digital, especially the soundtrack.
“I’m not any of those people I’m just a kid from a trailer park” with an angry look “if that’s what you think and that’s all you’ll ever be!”
BEST lesson ever
I've quoted that line to my son.
One aspect of the movie I liked was the feel of community within the trailer park. Everyone knew and respected each other, almost like they were family. They looked out for one another and were supportive of Alex at the end. I think it was brilliant it was set away from the big city, bright stars in the sky and it gave a feeling of isolation. Obviously not a truly serious Sci-fi movie but one of the most enjoyable to watch. Alex and Maggie were a great match too.
I was going to come on and say the same thing. The trailer park made the movie for me. Starlight Starbright...a sparkling day....
I don’t know them personally, but both actors always came across in such a likeable way onscreen.
Lance, dude, your acting in that movie was spot on! You and Catherine looked like you were LIVING the characters, not acting them...so natural and relaxed. That's what has always brought me back to the movie. Thanks for the fun!
As soon as Mary Stewart smiles, she is instantly recognizable.
"The Last Starfighter" and "Night of the Comet" were both very cool
Catherine Mary Stewart, smart and beautiful as always. And such an incredible personality.
Lance and Catherine are Great people. And that movie wouldn't have been anywhere as good if someone else was cast in either role. They both nailed it.
I am 62 now and still watch Night Of The Comet and Last Starfighter at least once a year. Early on I would some times watch it several times a year.
So that means I have watched it 60+ times and never get tied of it.
The Last Starfighter was fun! I love Catherine Mary Stewart, such a lovely, underrated actress.
People always use that term for actors who didn't become Meryl Streep or Tom Cruise mega stars. I was 21 when The Last Starfighter came out and saw it in the theater. She was lauded quite appropriately for her talent back in the day when it mattered to a performer. The fact that she has worked steadily since then confirms that she has been "rated" exactly right.
@@generalyellor8188 True you make a good point. I've always enjoyed her work no matter what type of film or show it was.
The Last Starfighter was great, because the world felt real. They built a little world out of that trailer park. They brought many characters to life there, and I can still remember perfectly, so many lines from all those characters. I swear, I could just hear one line from there, and know it's The Last Starfighter.
Then to have an Arcade that tested for possible Starfighters, and to find one of the best, in this random little park, was just very cool. It meant that even the smallest of places, could have something so very special happen. Which allowed anyone to dream of it happening to them.
Personally, I think the cgi was great in this movie. It's very unique, compared to any other movie. You have to remember, this movie came in 1984, when arcades were booming, and I can't think of another movie that had cgi this good.
I saw this movie in the theater, and have watched it so many times since then! :)
It's so strange to hear Lance describe it as an initial box office bomb. Perhaps it was. But The Last Starfighter is my earliest memory of ever seeing a movie. Not only is the first movie I can vividly recall seeing, but also my first movie theater experience. My parents took me to see it at a drive-in theater when I was 6. I don't recall much of the movie. But in 1984, and for a child who'd never before been to a big screen--the Death Blossom scene is what I remember clearly, and I was THERE with Alex in that ship!
Even though the Star Wars trilogy had all come and gone by 1984, Starfighter was my personal first. And I credit that movie for having driven me towards Star Wars and Star Trek...a chain reaction of events that I believe are largely responsible for my career as an IT nerd. It might not be too overboard to say that I wouldn't be where I am now if it weren't for this film.
With all its 80s cheese and simplicity, I still thoroughly enjoy it almost as much now as I did as a child. It takes me back to that drive-in, inside my parents' car, resting on my father's arm, and shooting the ever-living shit out of some aliens.
Tony, thanks for sharing your memories. I first saw the The Last Starfighter at my grandparent's house on VHS with my grandfather when I was about 8 or 9 in '84/'85, and I've loved it since then. There were so many great fantasy/sci-fi movies made in that period around the same-ish time that I still love: Tron, Labyrinth, The Neverending Story, The Dark Crystal, D.A.R.Y.L, Willow, Short Circuit, Dragonslayer...
Watching The Last Starfighter movie now brings back memories of my childhood visits to see my grandparents, and I love the film in part because of that also.
@@beeman2075 classics... my first theater experience was when E.T. came out summer of '82 and don't forget Mad Max movies, Police Academy, Weird Science, Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club, Howard The Duck, Revenge Of The Nerds, Beetlejuice, Roger Rabbit, Harry And The Henderson's and Beverly Hills Cop to name a few other classics!
(edited) oh and can't forget The Shining a big time classic, along with Stripes and Full Metal Jacket too.
Tony Gingrich ....wow ,not only was this my earliest movie experience as a kid also , but it was also a drive-in movie experience ...I think thats one of the reasons this movie is so important to people today because it was part of a feel good childhood memory.
I had just graduated from university when it came out, and as a big arcade and SF blockbuster fan and computer nerd at the time, I had to go see it. I wasn't disappointed, and I could appreciate the CGI at the time, I knew how much it took to make the effects as good as they were. I liked the story, as well.
You're right Tony, I thought Lance was being a bit modest about calling the movie a box office bomb. It actually made a profit although not by blockbuster standards ($14 million movie budget resulting in $29 million in box office). I'm just sad they never made a sequel to this movie. As far as I'm concerned, Xur is still on the run.
Catherine has always been a crush. She still looks fantastic.
She was everyone's crush
1984 was the best year for movies imo
Love the fact they are still close friends after all these years. This movie still gets me to this day. I was obsessed with it as a kid.
Wow Lance🤩it is great to hear your voice again!!!
"Greetings Starfighter!"
Lance is a great guy, got to meet him at my wife’s 40th HS reunion. They’d known each other since middle school.
Wow, I had NO idea I was still in love with Catherine Mary Stewart!! lol 😂
Why is it still so popular
Because The clueless day dreaming good guy underdog saves the universe, becomes a hero, gets the girl,
There is a little bit of 'Starfighter' in all of us,
And families can enjoy it together, no blood and guts, not filled with four letter words,
I saw this movie with two friends, at the midnight showing on opening night, loved it then, and love it now
Dogpile on the love for this movie.
People love because it has so much heart. It’s a joy to watch.
The last star fighter was sorely underrated and was far ahead of its time. A classic through and through. I watch it regularly on laserdisc to this day.
Excuse me. I would like to know in which city Starfighter was filmed?
Wow! Stumbled across this today. Saw that movie when I was 13! Good to see she is still around and looking lovely!!
I was 26 when this movie came out, saw it once it was on VHS. My dream jobs growing up were either a veterinarian or and astronaut. After watching this movie, I dreamed that night about being a starfighter, weird for an adult but the dream was like a dream come true. Ive never forgotten about the movie or what it did for me.
The Last Starfighter was just a fun, adventurous movie! It was filled w great imagination, some pretty good CGI for its time, and of course good acting by Lance Guest & Catherine Mary Stewart!
Loved this movie when I saw it in high school back in 1984. Was in to home computers and was fascinated by the graphics.
Born in 1980. Watched The Last Starfighter as a kid. You helped ingrain a love of video games and astrophysics that still resonates to this day. Thank you.
Can she be anymore adorable !! Catherine is an awesome actress and i love both of those movies !
To me, the magic was the idea that if you got good enough at video games, you could get pulled into a real space war. I think that was every kid's crazy dream back then.
Catherine Mary Stewart is incredibly engaging and personable. She needs to be in more films.
This and Night of the Comet are my favorite two 80s movies. I have watched both so many times I have lost count.
I love this movie, The Last Starfighter. Alex Rogan reminds me a lot of myself, spending my early adult years working hard doing maintenance for my mom's motel and apartments complex. I didn't have much social life, and it was out in the country, so I could walk outside and look at the stars, etc. It's a good, clean and simple movie that stands the test of time.
One thing I wish that new movies would get, Get your story right first. There are a ton of old movies, where the effects or jokes dont hold up, but there was still a good story. A beginning, middle and end, not just a showcase of new technology or special effects.
Good interview! I saw Last Star Fighter in my tiny home town theatre. Dreamed of meeting a girl like her at my school. Tough, Intelligent, independent. Tough list to use. I added her humor from Night of the Comet.
I'm grateful to both of them for the role models they were.
for me it was the reluctant hero that learned he could make a difference. and so his obvious reason was to go where he was needed.
This is a little off the wall, but I was in a really bad marriage, very unhappy, and hoping so bad to find a woman who I could be happy with. When Maggie got up on the lift to go in the Gun Star to be with Alex, I would always cry. and of course my wife would say something shitty about me crying.
Other than that, there were so many great lines, #1 being Otis' "things change, always do. You'll get your chance, the thing is when it comes, you have to grab on with both hands and hold on tight!" So many things said in the movie became part of my vocabulary, and all the way until we divorced, I would introduce my wife as "my wife-oid". Of course, my son saw it when he was eight, and was instantly a Lewis Rogan fan, and to this day, uses all of Lewis' one liners in his day to day communication, especially "what the hell's going on?" Very influential movie in so many ways.
Hey, I hope things are better for you now. Yeah, this movie had a lot of great quotable lines with some real sage wisdom.
Star fighter was a great movie, too bad that there wasn’t a sequel. Good to see the stars now as well.
I showed my 12 year old son this movie tonight. He just loved it! I still love this
Movie
Good Interview. A Great movie, VHS was the best..them days.
Yes funny how some movies are best on VHS.
BETAMAX!!
Took my family to the drive-in in 1984 to see this movie and loved it and have waited for part 2.Thanks
I remember seeing "Starfighter" at a drive-in with a bunch of friends in Los Angeles in 1985 on a double bill with "Back to the Future." The only unusual part of this story is that the star of the film was with us... p.s. If you think he's a great actor you ought to hear him play guitar and sing.
I first saw this in the theater. And I instantly loved it, it's so light-hearted and touches you personally. The music still makes me smile, gives me goosebumps and makes me feel that all is right in the world.
He better play the dad in the soft reboot that's coming soon.
She has the most expressive eyes! There is a certain "Light" which age and time has not diminished in the slightest.
Nov. 7, 2020---Thing is, every once in a blue moon, Hollyweird comes out with something original. This is one of them.
I watched it in theater!!!!! And I was one of those with a crush on Catherine. Always have and still love the movie
Catherine Mary Stewart still looks fantastic. "Night of the Comet" also a cult favorite.
Love Night of the Comet
Yes !!! Just saw it last night on Tubi. It was so great growing up in the 80s watching these classic movies 👍
she didn't age well
@@JanitorIsBack Let's see you a 61.
Just rewatched two days ago and that ending is still among the very best ever. That soundtrack is fantastic, the story is still absolutely captivating and the cast is just absolutely perfect. Very important movie for me because I´ve seen in when it came out in the theaters and i was just a teen and it remained in my mind for years, then came the vhs, dvd and i´ve just bought it on bluray. I hope there´s a good sequel out there but Lance and Catherine need to be there for it to work. This is one of the movies that made me want to become an illustrator.
They both come across as very down to earth and decent people. Which came through in the movie. I saw it again recently and it still holds up and is a fun watch. All the characters were really likeable.
I love Last Starfighter. Watched it all the time as a kid.
Hi. I would like to know in which city Starfighter was filmed?
@@walterzugspitze1373 I don't know. Google is a nice friend, tho
How weird. I just watched The Last Starfighter yesterday at random. I picked a movie to test my home theater and ended up watching the whole movie, and now this video shows up on my recommended list. Great movie. Has some great quotable lines like, If that`s what you believe, then that`s all you`ll ever be!
I had such a huge crush on Catherine growing up in the 80s and I still do 😃♥️ she's still very gorgeous.
ah my teenage years in 1980s
A few years back I got to have a long conversation with one of my favorite sci-fi actors from the 90s. Right off the bat, I said I wasn't going to ask her about the show she was on, and it was - I think - a great relief to her. We just talked about normal people things. Watching Lance answer questions about something he did for a month back in the 80s makes me think about how you...the fan...would react if someone grilled you about a job you did for a month decades ago. I understand that this is a "fan" TV thing, but if given the chance, I'd love to just sit down and talk with Lance and Catherine and talk about anything but the movie. To find out about their lives and what they're doing now rather than fanboy out about an old job they did once.
You look in their eyes and you see their younger selves from the movie.
It is reported that a sequel to Last Starfighter might greenlit. But there are some loose ends to clear up. There are couple of writers writing possible screenplay. I think Lance & Catherine might return as Alex & Maggie.
"I love you, Alex Rogan!"
"I know..."
Wasn’t there a similar exchange between Leia and Han in Empire Strikes Back?
I first saw this movie when I was in my 20's, I'm now almost 69 years old, and I still love this movie.
3:53
Damn Maggie, (Maggs) still looks GoOd.
Well I am 3 months from 50 so...
I had the biggest crush on Lance Guest! He's still REALLY cute. I liked everything about the film. It was wholesome, funny and quirky and all of the characters were memorable and stuck in my mind all these years! I have it on vhs still lol
My wife and I saw it in the movie theater when it came out. Wife was 6mos pregnant with our first, and the air conditioning in the theater wasn't working, but we sweated on through it. We thought at that time that the marketing of the movie sucked, they could have done a better job, I mean c'mon let's get real. We got it as soon as it came out on VHS, then DVD. Our kids grew up watching it, without prompting, at least once a month. Our favorite side character was Grig, and "Ah, Now you look Human." became part of our oneliner banter. Great movie, great time. Lance and Catherine, along with Robert did a wonderful job. Broke our hearts when he died, but what a way to go out!? Playing Harold Hill outer in space!!! :)
Thank you, both of you, for taking part in the special screening of the film at the Edmonton Space Science Centre a few years back. You made a lot of dedicated fans have an even more special night.
I wish I had known they were at the Science Center, I would definitely been there.
I loved this movie when I was a kid ! It’s begging to be remade , with today’s special effects and how some video game company could build a world around it .
6:05 "I realized that these kinda movies don't have to be crazy complicated action packed things, they can be simple stories about simple people with big dreams", what she said nailed it right on the head and the people working Hellaweird California seem to have forgotten that fact.
Dude I grew up on this movie and because of it became VERY GOOD in video games because I wanted to he Alex Rogan.
Best line when Louis sees Alex and Mags kissing..... "DIARRHEA!!!" 🤣
Classic 80's catch phrase!
This was a amazingly great film for its era, a real ground breaker !
A sequel or reboot was just announced!
This is a hidden gem in the minds of those like myself that grew up in the 80's. Just a very cool and funny movie and watching this interview brought back special memories and put an interested smile on my face. Great to see your faces again and I wish you well. Beautiful.
You were recruited by the Star League to defend the Frontier. Thank you for your service.
TLS is one of those movies that, with the passage of time, cannot be improved, revisited or remade despite the (groundbreaking at the time) aged SFX. The rubbery alien suits, etc all give this some sort of untouchable charm that permanently compliments the 'good idea' that Mr. Guest stated as part of the films lasting success. He, and the rest of the cast, being no more or less integral than the Cray that made the effects happen. A perfect storm. Every budgetary constraint even played it's role, magically adding to it's enduring appeal. Others I think reflects this indelible characteristic is Robocop (the original) and the Firefly series.
I'm from the UK and I've been a massive fan of this film for years, Catherine is still a fine looking lady, & was most definitely the first crush of a lot of us.
The concept of the film is so good, it feels like it was crafted not just made to please the biggest audience like most films today.
Lance was definitely a guy that you could root for, an underdog with a heart of gold.
I hope that if something does happen with this property that its not given the 21st century woke treatment.
absolutely class film tjat i grew up with... plus one of the best film scores ever made.
I went to school with Catherine in Edmonton, Ab Canada. Met her at a school reunion and she still looks amazing
Why didnt I put it together that she was also the lead in night of the comet. I need a crossover now. :D.
one of my favorite movies growing up
Im a big fan of the movie. I watched the movie when i was 12, that was 1988. Nice to see Lance again on an interview.
The Last Starfighter was and is still one of the best movies, I was wondering about the next movie hoping it will come out. And finding it here on RUclips makes me happy and do planning on watching the second one. (I also hope to see the 3rd one as well, if you movie makers plan on making it)
This Movie will always stay with me till the day i die,just awesome in every way.
I was in the first grade when this moive came outa no yes still love this moive till this day. Had a crush on Kathy and still do😘 this is a classic know question. Just a very well made moive and good writing witch makes it a movie that will never die!
Two fantastic actors which I really HOPE they'll be IN the second movie. Time will tell, but I am hoping! ;)
They were two of my favorites, and so was that movie. And they still look good. Great video.
i really liked him, so expressive, pity i wanted to see him in more movies. I love the last starfighter
It is one of my favorite movies especially when I was a teen when it was released.
I love this movie and actually read the novelisation. Great times!! 😎
I saw both movies in the theater and I liked them but they were just your typical fun, lightweight sci-fi. What kept me interested was Catherine. She was beautiful, of course, but she had this way about her that made you feel like you have always known her. Starfighter was a better overall movie and after that I never saw her act again. In fact, this video is the first time I've seen her since the movies. Still just as beautiful and what a personality.
Greetings from germany, my first movie in theatre and i love him.
One of my favourite films. Great stuff.
Wow, Catherine looks fabulous, hotty she is !!!
It may not have performed well in the theater but I did see it in a theater twice. Once just myself and later with my soon to be wife. We both love the movie. I bought it on VHS, DVD, and Blu Ray. It gets watched a few times each year. Night of the Comet, and Weekend at Bernie's are also favorites in our home. So many great movies from that time period and yes, they are all cult classics. Both Lance and Catherine Mary Stewart seem very nice. BTW, our daughter was named Catherine after her. We almost went with Maggie but Cat won out. Great video.
I still love this movie! And both actors look great for their age.
It fulfilled people's wishes - the fantasy of an everyday person transcending into something extraordinary. That's a HUGE reason why it was a hit. BUT, the execution - the craftsmanship - was masterful (endearing characters, acting, special effects, script, etc.) Part of the magical Golden Age that was 1980s entertainment...music, movies, video games. An awesome decade for that sort of art.
Saw this movie last time in the 80’s... how did this show up in my feed now ? Agree BTW.
My biggest childhood film I love it.
You've got to be in the remake
HOLA. SOY DE ARGENTINA. YO VI STARFIGHTER EN 1989 Y AMO ESTA PELICULA ES EXCELENTE!!!!
I have always loved this movie. My mom showed me it when l was young and when l got older l rewatched it. I recently showed it to my boyfriend and he loved it. His favorite part was the death blossom scene. He said it’s in the video game Overwatch. The character named Reaper has a special move that is the death blossom. I love that Grig is always happy. When l was young l thought his name was Greg.
Watching it now, awesome film!
I really hope the sequel sees the light of day with both Lance and Catherine returning.
Me too I hope the sequel is as good as the original movie.
Thank you for sharing! LSF was one of my first favorite movies when I was a kid around 8!! Great questions dude!
Still beautiful even after all these years.
The Last Starfighter was set-up for a sequel. Love this movie!
Went to see it at a theater. The shop I worked at was shut down by a suicide raccoon. Went into work, no power. Great way to spend an unplanned day off. Great movie too.
I saw it in the theater! Loved it!
One of my favorite movies of all time
