Mission Stardust - Lobby Cards (1967)

Mission Stardust, AKA  ...4...3...2...1...Morte in Italy, AKA Perry Rhodan – SOS aus dem Weltall in Germany, AKA Órbita Mortal in Spain is a 1967 Italian movie based on the Perry Rhodan universe.


I've never had the pleasure although it is supposed to be quite bad.  Still I feel strangely drawn by that 60's Italian aesthetic.

    1. thanks Michel. I could have sworn I had posted a few Perry Rhoden covers in the past but cant find them via any obvious labels now. I shall seek out a selection. Anything that's run that long deserves a few post here

  2. I'm not really a fan of Perry Rhodan, but I did read, and generally enjoy, the first half dozen or so novels - which form a first story arc. As a matter of fact, this movie follows the plot of the first novel surprisingly well while managing to make it seem pretty crude and clumsy. It is not awful, though...

  4. When I visited Forrest Ackerman's legendary house in Hollywood, among the treasures he showed to visitors was a typewriter. Using this typewriter, his wife Wendayne Ackerman had translated approximately one jillion Perry Rhodan stories from German into English.
