Michael Ledo The credits roll in neon green with constant reminders this is a Charles Band film, so you know its gotta be good. It seems some claymation ETs left behind a weapon that is more of a fire blaster than say a laser blaster. It fits on the right arm and blasts things setting them on fire, eat your heart out Bruce Campbell. Billy Duncan (Kim Milford) stumbles upon it in the desert and learns to master it, as it takes over him.The film is campy and cheesy, but fails to be entertaining in that aspect. This is Eddie Deezen's first acting credit.Guide: No f-bombs. Near sex. Near nudity.

Walter Five I guess I love this bad film because I caught it on its' initial release in a drive-in on a hot summer night in 1978, well provisioned with a bag of Colombian Gold Buds and a couple bottles of Boone's Farm. We'd seen a still of the stop-motion animation scene in Starlog Magazine, and were quite curious. Wonderfully dreadful and delirious, the animated sequence at the beginning of the film is really the only thing this film had to recommend it. David Carradine's "Deathsport" was worse than this, as I recall, but it's not as good as Marjoe Gortner's "Starcrash"...

Majid-Hamid i must be out of my mind giving this movie a rating a 10 out of 10 stars. people might say that i'm crazy, but i realize why Leonard Maltin decide to give this movie a rating 2 1/2 stars for this movie. it's not really bad at all...the problem with the movie is there is no actual story and reasons to why all the incident happens involving the laser gun. And yet, who the f**k are the aliens???? but to my opinion, are these problems important enough to be questioned?? errr...what i meant is some things should not be taken seriously, it is not important for the director to explain who are the aliens and why the laser gun was left on earth. but the most important thing is how the aliens going to get back the laser back and what will happen if the laser gun falls into the hands of human. this is what the film trying to explain. this is a very simple movie and has couple of action scene which is good. Laserblast is more likely a drama to me, not an action movie.remember, this is no Star Wars, this is just a simple movie about a story about the life of a man who accidentally found the laser gun. Please reconsider this movie again fellas....give it a chance

Clay Loomis Hey, you get what you get with a Charles Band production. That guy has been producing an army of schlock theatrical and straight-to-video movies since the mid-1970's. Laserblast is one of his earlier efforts, and actually, one of his best. This guy just seems to have no "Off" switch. Type his name into the IMDb search box for an idea. Almost 250 movies, and he's still going strong.A buddy and I first saw Laserblast at a Drive-In 1978, with a bong and a bag of weed between the seats. The weed probably helped, but we loved it and had some great laughs (and about 20 pounds of popcorn). The Dynamation was pretty fair, and the story was certainly what we'd come to expect from our Drive-In experiences. I just caught it again on a MST3K rerun. Still pretty funny, even without the SOL boys help. (Keep an eye out for boom mikes in frame and film crew reflections. It's a Band trademark.)I have no facts to back this up, but it's my guess that Band just drives his car through the wall of a local film school, grabs a sophomore director, crew, and actors, offers them 100 bucks each and a listing in the film credits. Seems to have worked pretty well for him too. He's responsible for the Puppet Master, Dollman, and Demonic Toys series of films, along with low rent classics such as Zombiethon, Vicious Lips, Galactic Gigolo, and Murdercycle.Laserblast is better than average for this genre of films, but you DO need to be in the mood for them. And hey, nothing Charles Band has done is as bad as say...Monster a-Go Go or Red Zone Cuba. Oh, and somebody a few comments back made mention that this movie hugely ripped off E.T. Well, if you have any questions about similar looking aliens or story elements, take them up with Spielberg, because Laserblast came out 4 years earlier than E.T.
