Galaxina is a low-budget 1980 American comedy/science fiction film, best remembered for its lead actress, Playboy Playmate of the Year for 1980 Dorothy Stratten, who was murdered shortly after the film's release.
Besides its homages to and parodies of science fiction mainstays Star Trek (1966), Star Wars (1977), and Alien (1979), this film also pokes fun at Western movies. It won the Audience Award at the 1983 Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film.
A film viewed by characters within the film is a clip from the Eastern bloc film First Spaceship on Venus (1960). The clip is used in the film because it was also a Crown International Picture.
In the year 3008, the crew of the Intergalactic Space Police cruiser Infinity is on patrol duty in deep space. The ship is captained by the incompetent Cornelius Butt (Avery Schreiber) and his crewmen: his first officer, Sgt. Thor (Stephen Macht); pilot "space-cowboy" Pvt. Robert "Buzz" McHenry (J.D. Hinton); Maurice (Lionel Mark Smith), a black humanoid alien with pointy ears and bat wings; and Sam (Tad Horino), an Asian man who quotes Confucius. Also aboard is Galaxina (Dorothy Stratten), a voluptuous blonde android servant, and Rock-Eater, a rock-eating alien prisoner confined to the brig.
