The Last Star Fighter premiered on July 13, 1984. The film stood out at the time for it's heavy use of early CGI and was often compared against Return of the Jedi that was still using stop motion, puppets, and matte paintings. Behind the scenes, the film was connected to the Halloween universe as its director Nick Castle played "The Shape" in Halloween, Halloween (2018) and Halloween Kills, and "flasher" in Halloween Ends, and stars Lance Guest appeared as Jimmy in Halloween II and Dan O'Herlihy starred as Conal Cochran in Halloween III Season of the Witch. In the story, an alien named Centauri (Robert Preston in his final theatric role) travelled to Earth to recruit high schooler Alex Rogan (Guest), who lived in a trailer park, because he passed a starfighter test disguised as a video game. So his absense wouldn't be noticed, Centari left a Beta clone to take Alex's place and spend time with Alex's brother Louis (Chris Hebert) and Alex's girlfriend Maggie Gordon (Catherine Mary Stewart). Meanwhile in space, due to a betrayal by Xur (Norman Snow), Alex found that he and alien pilot Grig would have to use the last starfighter to fend off an invation lead by Lord Kril (Dan Mason).

In order to protect the reputation of the American space program, a team of NASA administrators turn the first Mars mission into a phony Mars landing. Under threat of harm to their families the astronauts play their part in the deception on a staged set in a deserted military base. But once the real ship returns to Earth and burns up on re-entry, the astronauts become liabilities. Now, with the help of a crusading reporter, they must battle a sinister conspiracy that will stop at nothing to keep the truth hidden. Credits: TheMovieDb.

Connell Title Designer: Dan Perri Movie Reviews: John Chard: It’s a pleasure alright, and I don’t feel guilty about it at all!. A NASA space mission up to Mars fails to get off the ground due to major technical problems. Fearing funding could be taken away and wishing to avoid embarrassment, the powers that be decide to do a fake landing in a studio. With the astronauts forced to pretend that they are actually up on Mars, and fighting with their own personal belief systems, the government executives in charge fear that the fake flight could come to light. Upon learning that the outside world actually thinks they crashed upon reentering the earths atmosphere, the astronauts run for their lives knowing that the government can’t afford for the men to stay alive. Capricorn One is an excellent conspiracy picture that sadly seems to have been largely forgotten. Even today we are still hearing mooted stories of the landing on the moon actually being fake, so here director and writer Peter Hyams takes it and crafts a thrillingly taut piece of work. At the films heart is Elliot Gould’s (his great 70s work under valued) intrepid journalist, Robert Caulfield, after being nudged in the ribs by one of his friends at NASA, is himself under threat of death from shadowy government types who will think of nothing to offing him along with the astronauts. The film is split into two very significant halves, the first half is the set up, the conversations before and after the fake landing are clever and crucially attention grabbing, and of course we get to know our characters with the right amount of time. The film then shifts for the second half into a quality thriller chase movie, our main protagonists pursued by the government assassins courtesy of two gun toting helicopters. Jerry Goldsmith’s score brilliantly becoming part of the chase sequences, making the helicopters seem like death stalking machines operated by no man alone. We even get Telly Savalas joi...
