Rating:  - Stuart Gordon's Star Wars
Space Truckers is a different kind of movie than we're used to seeing from Gordon. It's a little more lighthearted, comical, and slick looking. Plus it's PG-13, so the over the top gore isn't present.
But the movie is alot of fun. It's silly sci-fi nonsense that aims to be nothing more than a fun popcorn flick.
Dennis Hopper is a space trucker who gets screwed out of getting paid for his load by an evil pork company. He then takes on an unregistered and illegal load to transport to ... Read More
Rating: - Hauling it in space.
Fans of Dennis Hopper should enjoy this funny movie about being an independant space trucker, and going against the flow like Dennis Hopper characters often do. In the process, he and two other like minded people he picks up on a space station, end up fighting space pirates and also fighting some serious killer robots to save Earth. I liked the fact that no matter how bad things seem to get for our heroic space truckers, they managed to keep the jokes comming, and your funny bone tickled. The budget ... Read More
Rating: - A Hilarious Little Classic
I stumbled across this film on VHS in the used bin of a Blockbuster. I thought, Dennis Hopper and Charles Dance, why not? Truckers in space, why not?
Why not? Indeed. This hilarious little gem is full of pleasant surprises. Yes, it sorta runs out of steam by the end, but who cares?
It's a classic direct to video film, low budget, but it makes the most of what it has. I could describe the plot, but hey, just like "Snakes on a Plane": "Space Truckers", what else do you ... Read More

I had no desire to see this movie when it hit the screens but should have. I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. While the plot is not a good as it could have been it is pretty decent entertainment. Really great graphics and set layout. Of course, Dennis Hopper is always great on screen. And what about those square pigs? LoL! If you are a fan of Dennis I recommend you check out 'My Science Project' and 'Riders of the Storm' as these are some of his lesser known films which are fun to watch.
Rating: - Fun Space Romp
Enjoyable comic look at what the future might hold. If there are long-haul truckers in space, then they will probably be something like the characters in the movie, but probably not quite as amusing.
