Astrolab 22 (1985)

Astrolab 22 is a French/ Saudi Arabian TV series in 13 parts from 1985.  It involves a mission to Pluto, apparently but beyond that I know very little.

Thanks Tim

Murder In Space (1985)

I like Michael Ironside but not enough to sit through this twice.  Poster is alright though isn't it.

Vozvrashchenie s orbity (1985)

Best image I can find for the time being.  Vozvrashchenie s orbity is a fairly obscure East German film from back in the 80's.  I'll add and update as and when but until then here's a very nice Czechoslovakia poster for the film by designer; Zdeněk Vlach, to keep you going.

UPDATE -
I amaze my self sometimes.  It must have been a whole two minute later that I found these.

I'm good to you lot!

El caballero del dragón

El caballero del dragón is a Spanish film from 1985 directed by Fernando Colomo and starring Klaus Kinski. It's also known as The Knight of the Dragon  and Star Knight.

In it a knight sets out to rescue a princess from a dragon, but the dragon turns out to really be an alien spacecraft.  Which all sounds quite interesting.

Titan Find (1985) .....still looking

It's been too many years since I watched this film; free tickets at the local cinema on first release so I'm guessing almost 30 of them, or near enough.   I remember little other than being singularly unimpressed at the time and as such I made no effort to watch it again on video or DVD.  However I am developing a minor fixation with it now, which will probably result in a second viewing sometime soon.  The cause of this mini-obsession is of course the spacesuits and helmets and more specifically, identifying their origins.  They are as featured below, identified as helmets 1, 2 & 3

 

Helmet 1

Helmet 2

 

Helmet 3

 

Helmet 1 is clearly 2001 inspired but I'd love to know where they came from or if they were made for this film or another ?

 

Helmet 2 is intriguing with shades of Star Wars Stormtrooper about it but beyond that I'm lost other than the feeling I've seen it before. 

I'm also curios as to why the two images I've found of it, are from publicity material rather than the actual film.  Is it a deleted scene? (Much like this image from the infamous Cantina afterhours lock-in scene from A New Hope)

 

Helmet 3 has already been identified as being the same design as was featured in The Andromeda Strain. As spotted by eagle-eyed blog follower SWGhostbuster.

Any thoughts and ideas from readers are more than welcome and I'll update the post accordingly

The Tripods - Series 2 (1985)

Not such a big fan of this show although I am a massive fan of John Christopher, author of the original books on which the BBC TV series was based.  Good old Aunty Beeb only managed to get two thirds of the way through the trilogy before giving it up as a bad dull thing.  They should probably have another crack at it now that technology is more up to the job but then again if it turned out to be only half as witless as their last attempt at Day of the Triffids, then they perhaps shouldn't bother.

Titan Find (1985)

Titan Find (AKA Creature) is, as far as I can remember, a big old rip-off of Alien.  Klaus Kinski is about the only thing that sticks in my mind from seeing this back in the day but then Klaus is that kind of actor.  On reflection the spacesuits seem rather nice.  They're a little bit 2001 for the most part but there ain't nothing wrong with that.  Here are a lot of pretty pictures.
