The dissolution of prominent cult distributor BCI / Eclipse may well have been the best thing ever to happen to Mill Creek Entertainment, a company formerly best known for their low price and lower quality bundles of ubiquitous public domain cheapies. Having snapped up the catalogues of BCI / Eclipse and a number of other defunct distributors at fire sale prices, Mill Creek now have a variety of desirable properties at their disposal and are primed and ready to take position as King of the bargain home video market. This double feature Blu-ray release sees the company delving into the library of Crown International Pictures, and presents a pair of oddball drive-in attractions – each of which is far more endearing than it has any right to be.
1980′s Galaxina is a parodic futuristic science fiction romance that takes aim at Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien and even Sergio Leone, and is infamously remembered for being released just two months before the murder of its centerfold star Dorothy Stratten. The film follows the misadventures of the crew of Space Police cruiser Infinity, which is sent to the far reaches of the galaxy to retrieve a glowing blue rock of dubious import before the evil Ordric can get his robot hands on it.
