Star Pilot is a dreadfully inept, extremely dated piece of Spaghetti sci-fi from the late-60s; very kitsch, scientifically inaccurate, often incoherent, and full of risible special effects, it's hard to believe that just two years separate this from Kubricks's 2001: A Space Odyssey, and that we would all be enjoying the jaw-dropping spectacle that was Star Wars only slightly over a decade later. That said, the film isn't a complete waste of time if you like your entertainment super schlocky...
The main reason to watch Star Pilot is (from a red-blooded male's perspective at least) the quality Euro-totty, which comes in the shapely form of stunning brunette Leontine May, who plays scientist Prof. Solmi's sexy daughter Luisa, and Leonora Ruffo as red-headed space-siren Kaena. Both women look great throughout, wearing a variety of outfits so skimpy they could even bring a Vulcan out in a sweat (May looks particularly fetching in her fish-net body-stocking and fur trim ensemble).
The film is also worth a gander for its comedy value, the whole shambolic affair being rife with unintentional laughs. Whether it be Luisa's perpetual posturing, prancing and posing (the girl wants to be an actress and that's obviously what aspiring starlets do), the aliens' pathetic robot servants, Luisa experiencing sudden weightlessness (giving a glimpse of her stockings and sussies in the process), the daring space-walks sans safety cable or helmet, the space-ape attack, or the silly time-twisting final revelation that incorporates Einstein's Theory of Relativity, Star Pilot is a gas.
