Beyond the Stars (1989)

 

Beyond the Stars, a little film that both me and Tim (Tim seeks out new stuff for the completeness of the blog) have never heard of until now.  I suspect that anyone tapping that name into a search engine is going to hit stuff like this ...

and this ...

Which is the bountiful Sybil Danning from Battle Beyond the Stars who is far more distracting than is right and proper and certainly more so than some film with Martin Sheen and Christian Slater in it. 

Or so it would seem... but then that's the internet for you.  Which in theory means that now I've put those pictures there, then the  magic of St Exmin will work in reverse!

Did I ever mention that Saturn 3 is my most viewed post with double the hits of any other....and that has nothing to do with the film or the spacesuits.

Weird!

Murder on the Moon (1989)

Murder on the Moon is a crime/sci-fi TV movie from 1989, the plot of which is that after a nuclear war on Earth, the Soviet Union and the U.S. both establish outposts on the moon. When a murder occurs, both U.S. and Soviet investigators are forced to work on the case together.     Now if that's familiar but the name is not then you may have seen it in the US under the titles: Murder by Moonlight or  Murder in Space.  Not to be confused with Murder In Space (1985) of which I might blog later. Thanks to a reminder by faithful blog follower Tim, I now remember having watched this back in the day.  I don't remember it being all that good but then I don't actually remember too much about it at all. It's a little bit more interesting to me now as I can see that those are the suits from Outland that have gone on to have quite a long career for a post 70's spacesuit.   Steve

Moontrap (1989)

 

I know I watched it I just remember very little about it other than the cast being interesting.

Concord Ad (1989)

I found this while looking for something else. It's a British Airways television advert for Concord.  It's funny how some futures so quickly become the past.

R.I.P. Concord

What I was actually trying to track down was the use of the Outland helmets which were apparently also featured in a TV ad for British Airways... but not this one

I've got this so far:

which reveals little visually although it did jog the memory and I now recall seeing it at time; it had a sort of 2001 vibe.  I'll keep searching
