Cosmos: War of the Planets
Check out this review of Cosmos: War of the Planets' at: MillionMonkeyTheater.com
The film is about a spaceship that is redirected to investigate some weird transmissions. On the way¸ the ship is attacked by robotic ships and it limps its way to a nearby planet--dominated by an evil robot that looks like a giant slot machine. This horrible robot and the computer that controls it have ravaged this planet and the surviving locals are unable to do anything but hide in caves and hope to survive. Well¸ the Earthlings are apparently made of finer stuff and one of them tosses a rock at the robot--thus destroying it AND causing a chain reaction that destroys the planet!! Well¸ this isn’t all of it¸ as the evil computer isn’t quite through with this crew¸ but I don’t want to say more lest I spoil the great suspense!

Ahhhh...a bit of information...
COSMOS: WAR OF THE PLANETS is a cheese-fest that must be experienced to be believed. But, it doesn't stand alone! Oh no! The special effects were all used in a couple of different movies. WAR OF THE ROBOTS, and STAR ODYSSEY are equally mind-numbing movies made in 1978 by Alfonso Brescia which also share the same inept model work. COSMOS, however, is the one which holds the distinction in my home as being referred to as "The Penis Hat Movie" because of the ridiculous helmets worn by all of the members of the MK-31. All three of them are absolutely perfect for amateur MST3K. Have fun with it. Enjoy it. Try not to let your brain be destroyed by it.
