BradNot sure if I can stand watching Luigi Cozzi movies two weeks in a row, but I’ll play it by ear.
On Friday, #TheLastDriveIn showed The Last Horror Film (1982), which featured like 1/3rd of the cast of Luigi Cozzi’s Starcrash: Caroline Munro, Joe Spinell, and Judd Hamilton.
I never thought I’d say this, but I would not mind rewatching Starcrash now.
Not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but Zeus is played by Claudio Cassinelli, who was in a number of 1970s giallo and poliziottechi films, but who tragically died in a helicopter accident during filming of Sergio Martino’s Terminator rip-off Hands of Steel (1986).
Petrified stone person: *blinks*
Critics: It’s ghastly! It’s hell on earth! Take it away!
Flora is played by Laura Lenzi, who played the mom in Lucio Fulci’s cursed archeological horror film, Manhattan Baby (1982).
I wondered if she is related to director Umberto Lenzi but judging from their bios and an IMDb collaboration search, I doubt it.
If you have any questions about tonight’s film, simply book a trip to Rome and visit director Luigi Cozzi at his store [correction: the store he manages], Profondo Rosso.
The photos of Luigi Cozzi’s Profondo Rosso store on Google Maps are really something. I guess it’s part store, part museum.
bobert@bk1e Looks like it's owned by Daria Argento ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profondo_Rosso_(store) ). But great find, I need to visit.
@combatwombat Oops, I thought he owned it. Apparently he manages it ( https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/profondo-rosso-rome ) and I saw something else that said he used to be a co-owner.
