The most demented Italian Star Wars ripoff isn't Star Crash or The Humanoid — it's the XXX-rated The Beast In Space, which is also a quasi-sequel to 1975 supernatural bestiality epic The Beast... except in space this time. Newly on DVD, the Beast In Space has the laser gun fights and fake light sabre fights with guys in silver jumpsuits, the Han Solo-knockoff, and a robot that rules the planet Longion by keeping everybody in a mind-controlled haze of non-stop sex, in which they never age. Weirdly, the porno's science is more accurate than the science in Star Wars. Our sister blog Fleshbot has another clip (very NSFW) from the film. [Fleshbot]

Do you mean Borowczyk's "La Bete"?
It's a reworking of "Beauty and the Beast"- a fairytale.
Nuttin' supernatural about it.
However, it is pretty damn out of control.
