This one's a bit more higher budget than the stuff that I usually post, but compared to the movies it rips off (Raiders, Romancing the Stone, The Final Countdown), this Aussie co-production is lowbudget.

Multiple images for Sky Pirates, showing Hargreaves and Phillips on their (mis) adventures

Oh, man, the image of her looking out what I assume is supposed to be an airplane window... It looks fake even as a thumbnail!

Love it.

It's seems like more money went to the pyrotechnics. ;)

A good choice by the director. BOOM!

How is it? It looks like a lot of fun.

[-] LaurenceWolse@feddit.nl 3 points 3 months ago

Entertaining, in a low-key sort of way. It's definitely not as engrossing as the movies it rips off.

Good to know. Thanks!

How did they get Brian May to do the soundtrack?

[-] LaurenceWolse@feddit.nl 4 points 3 months ago

It's not Queen's Brian May. ;)
