- rotexo 6y agoI feel like the beach ball sub-plot in that movie is a practice-run for Alien. Not to mention the parallels between the conversations with bomb and Ash.
- rcurry 6y agoThe bomb was the best - This is really interesting, I wish we had more time.
- rcurry 6y agoI love how the the origin of the terrifying duct scene in Alien was the guy chasing the beachball through the ducts in Dark Star. All those guys were waiting for was a proper FX budget.
- emmelaich 6y agoDon't forget https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Cobb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Cobb who worked on Dark Star, Star Wars and many others. You can see similarities between Dark Star sets and Star Wars.
- easyKL 6y agoThese are the guys that connect Dark Star with Alien with Jodorowsky's Dune.
