- The Last Starfighter Actors - Now and Then
The Last Starfigther is one of those movies you miss from your childhood or teenager years and not because it was a blockbuster or because the actors were famous or something like this, but just because you have a emotional relationship with it. 9r9rdOde
Some other movies have grown into you after some years specially movies from the 80s. Probably you have the same feeling I do, it's a mix of nostalgia and magic. Weird isn't?
The Last Starfighter is a 1984 American space opera film directed by Nick Castle.
The film tells the story of Alex Rogan made by actor Lance Guest, a teenager recruited by an alien defense force to fight in an interstellar war. It also features Robert Preston, Dan O'Herlihy, Catherine Mary Stewart, Norman Snow, and Kay E. Kuter.
The Last Starfighter, along with Disney's Tron, has the distinction of being one of cinema's earliest films to use
extensive "real-life" computer-generated imagery (CGI) to depict its many starships, environments and battle scenes.
The Last Starfighter was Robert Preston's final role in a theatrical film. The character of Centauri, a "lovable con-man",
was written with him in mind and was a nod to his most famous role as Professor Harold Hill in The Music Man.
There was a subsequent novelization of the film by Alan Dean Foster, as well as a video game based on the
production. In 2004, it was also adapted as an off-Broadway musical.

One of my all-time favourite movies ,and you made it just that bit better nice video.
One oversight on this list that i feel needs mentioning, is the actress who played Maggy’s Granny. The actress was Meg Wiley, who was probably most famous for playing the Keeper in Star Treks pilot episode “The Cage” aka The Menagerie ep 1 and 2
You're right!
Wow so many Star Trek connections!
Yeah, I was really surprised too@@douglasschmidt2869
@@cinemapop it’s a shame I wasnt a writer on DS9. I would have had a Last starfighter video game on the space station! Probably in one of Quarks Holosuites. They never did anything fun like that. Except in some time travel episodes that never made sense. Star Trek is the worst when it comes to time travel!
@@douglasschmidt2869 Great idea, I loved it!
Excellent, Maggs is still a fox
I remember having a crush on her when I saw this movie.
@@scarboroughjames7 Night of the Comet is another good one of hers.
She’s one of the most beautiful ever.
Loved "The Last Statfighter". A really good concept. Wish more had been done with it.
Always liked this movie. 😊
Such an underrated movie.
lance guest was awesome. Surprised he didn't get more movie roles. He is an underrated actor.
This is a favorite of mine...I didn't realize Will Wheaton was in it...
Yeah. It's a shame his lines were cut out of the movie in the edition room. I like him specially in TBBT.😂
Thanks for your comment!
@@cinemapop I have this at home. I will have to rewatch it, looking for him!
Right, but you can barely see him. Only in some scenes where they were fooling around or at the end when you see him for 2 secs
@@cinemapop Good to know!
Thank you for this video!!! I've loved Last Starfighter since I was a boy in the 80s.
I love this movie! And Catherine Mary Stewart is breath taking!
loved this movie; Robert Preston is the best
Loved the film; and upon reflection, oddly enough there WAS NOT an actor, or a character that I didn't like!
Well done, cast and crew! Very very well done. And, I might add, a very ENTERTAINING film as well. Kudos all around.
I like this SCI FI movie. Great movie and great cast. Good video. 👍
Kay E Kuter played Newt Kiley on Petticoat Junction and Green Acres.
A great movie to grow up with . Look forward to watching with my kids.
I agree! But...I tried to get my kids, 14 and 9 years old, to watch it, they made it 15 minutes and couldn't accept the special effects. I reasoned with them about the storyline, the characters, etc. they don't care. It just feels too outdated to them. So I enjoyed watching it alone!
WOW!! A lot of notable actors came out of this movie! Still one of my all time favorite Sci-Fis Great Video Love the music😁👍🌹💃💃💃💃💃
Thanks a lot!!!
You left out Grannie. The actress was a Telosian back when they made "The Cage" pilot episode of Star Trek.
I expected a sequel and was sadden it did not happen.
It's one of my top 10 space movies ever ✨️
Awesome video! I had no idea so many were on Star Trek, even as characters I THOUGHT sounded familiar but couldn't place it! That's so cool!
No problem. Thanks for your comment!
Thanks! Great video! I somehow didn’t get bored of the music either lol.
They need to make this happen. The Last Star Fighter was one of my childhood favourites.
Blending today's cgi/vfx with the continued story would create a great movie.
I'd be happy for the Russell duo to be a part of it, so far they have both been excellent in Monarch, so I would imagine they would be great in a sequel to this movie too..
It has my vote, and I imagine hundreds of thousands of others vote too.
Growing up this was one of my favorite movie to watch and funny as hell and it had a serious side to it
It had it's flaws, but this was such a great movie for people growing up in this era. Like anything was possible. If they ever remake this it better be perfect!
interesting and informative, thanks.
I strongly feel that (THE LAST STARFIGHTER) stories, should be made into a show series now.
Thanks for this - one of the great movies from my childhood. I had always wondered why Alex's mother looked familiar to me and it turns out she was in Hill Street Blues!
It sucks they never made a sequel, the ending left that wide open.
Great movie!
Whaaaaaat?!!! Grig is the chairman of OCP???!!! 👀
Yup
Watched all these years and never knew that
Very interesting information about one of my favorite films. You really need to pick a better audio track though.
How is Mary Stuart just as beautiful as she was 40 years ago?
We need to find what fountain she drinks her water!
Sadly, Norman Snow (Xur) passed away on Nov. 28, 2022 in Los Angeles, CA.
Loved this movie when I was a kid.
This Is My Favorite Movie!&I Played-The Video Game-"THE LAST STARFIGHTER"@Castle Golf&Games-In Oakland, California&I WON!-Raymond "Mike" Hong!&(Great Video Infos-About-The Actors&Thanks!-Mike!)😎🗼👍!!!!!!!!!
Cool video. Crazy so many of them ended up doing Star Trek later on.
After 40 years, Alex Rogan returns to theaters as The Last Starfighter.
Catherine, is still incredibly beautiful. 💖🌹🥰🌷😍😘🔥
I remember seeing this movie when I was a kid and liked it. I totally didn’t remember Wil Wheaton was in it though! Crazy how many actors from this movie went on to have rolls in Star Trek though!
Bom filme, velho, mas divertido pra caramba!!!
Nice tribute to the stars living and not!
Dan O'Herlihy is also famous for his role as The Old Man CEO on Robocop.
Sadly, Norman Snow passed away in 2022.
As great as this movie is, I'd love to see a remake!
Me too, but I'm pretty much afraid of what the result would be...
@cinemapop I'm going out on a limb and hope if they remake it, it would be more aggressive.
For sure, and unfortunately they will probably destroy for us og's, you know what I mean. I hate when producers do that. Like they did with 21 Jump Street . Yikes.@@ebhark2012
@cinemapop I understand, and mostly agree. But as an example, I LOVED how they remade Battlestar Galactica. Brutal, gritty and sexy.
You got a point, I'll give you that.
Good movie
I found an anniversary edition of this film on DVD some time ago and it included a making of featurette that caught up with a few of the actors from the film including the leads. It was really interesting to see how they turned out.
The book Armada by Ernest Cline, who also wrote Ready Player One, borrows heavily from the plot of this film.
"Star Trek: the NEXT Generation"
Brilliant movie 👍❤🇬🇧
Barbara Boson had since passed away since his video's been posted
Its long time i have the movie. Its nostagic🎉
Trippy 🤙🏼
happy birthday wil wheaton
Movie still holds up to this day , there is a reboot in the works.
If you love this move like i do, I highly recommend the book Armada by Ernest Cline (write of ready player one) Also Will Wheaton does a lot of audio books especially for John Scalzi
0:45 Holy SH@T, the Zando Zan was Gul Dukat!?! 🤯
Kane's Parents and Kane remember them all 😊
I really hope they get a sequel film
Wow you need to have someone proof read and edit your scripting. A lot of errors with spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
That being said, very interesting and well put together info.
There was a one character I like to know more about. When Alex gets the alien planet and gets out of the car, there is a female alien that guides him.. She the one that says you hear English. She looks so familiar....even with the makeup on. Anyone know if she has done anything else?
Maggie was
My first love she’s still amazing
I was like 5 and had this till teens and imagine she was my gf and en I though I had them lol xxxx
Subscribed 🍺 🐨
Thanks!
Leave your comments it's fun to read them!!!
???? Will Wheaton!??? The main character had No friends other than the girl he liked... ? Who did will play ? Was it the guy with the car that liked the same girl ? I can not EVER in 50 years remember him in it at all ! ? Please remind me? Cos it couldn't have been his friend ?
Really liked the rest of this Video to... Started searching for VR Tron.. VR transformers is new... And VR Starfighter... Sadly This is forgotten about
I hope that retired, actress star (CATHERINE MARY NURSALL) wish comes true, and she gets her chance at directing many movies.
Change the background music
OK. I leave a thumb up. Where should I leave it? Up What? OK. UR Welcomes. What is UR new video? You know, what comes new?
Apparently there`s a remake/reboot/sequel to The Last Starfighter coming called The Last Starfighters though the buzz is it may not be made....i`m both excited and wary of this because done right we`er looking at awesome done wrong kill me now
Wil Wheaton's name was misspelled. He spells it with only one L.
Catherine is still an incredibly beautiful woman. 💖🌹🥰🌷😘😍🔥
Will Wheaton was in Starfighter? So LOL 🤣
I had a crazy crush on Catherine when I was younger and she's still hot
RIP
Share this video with your friends ua-cam.com/video/Ad8BZnqUmF0/v-deo.html
Who's that guy that played the Beta unit?. I've never seen him in anything else again.
You saved the worst for last.
A lot of them were in star trek
For a long time, I always thought Alex's sidekick was a black guy. He just looked like one. 😐
Me too!!! I always thought he was a black guy, then I discover he is white and an actor in classics like Shakespeare and so. Big surprise.
If they do a sequel, they'll have to keep the "
There are rumors of a sequel ou reboot since 2012. Can you imagine that? Even Spielberg wanted to do a reboot and the author said no.
Thanks for your comment, and please finish your sentence (LOL)
@@cinemapop with very few alive and able, I doubt it will capture the feel of the original sadly. (Cast)
The story could be the Ko-dan reach Earth, and Supreme Rylan Commander Rogan must lead the Starfighter attack force to intervene.
Maggie is super hot almost 40 years later!
Barbara Bossin died
What? No Meg While?
They should rewrite and modernize this movie. I.e a squad of five online video players recruited…. Like a live action isekai movie.
Meggy still looks hot
You really need to fact check your script. There are many errors. Example: it’s Star Trek: The Next Generation.
👆Will Wheaton was NOT in this movie!!!!!
He was if you find the deleted scenes
I didn't like the music
Sorry about that. I'll try to find a better one.
Ever heard of a mute button. 😒
It's "The Next Generation, NOT "The New Generation"... and WIL Wheaton, NOT "Will"...
and Barbara Bosson is a "She", NOT a "He".
Do you proofread anything?
I think retired actor star (CHRISTOPHER HEBERT) should think about, trying his luck being a side character, in ComicBook movies.
Or maybe try his luck, in getting to play a role in a few, of the many popular shows, that are going on now.
Great information, shitty music
