Armed with Exponential Thermosteller Bombs, it prowls the darkest reaches of space on a mission to seek out and destroy unstable planets ahead of the colonist. But there is one obstacle that its crew members did not count on. One of the ship's thinking and talking bombs is lodged in the bay, threatening to destroy the entire ship and crew!

Made for a reported $60,000, directed, produced and scored by John Carpenter, from a script by Carpenter and the late Dan O'Bannon (who also stars). O'Bannon would go on to write Alien (pay attention and you'll find elements in Dark Star that were later used in Alien). Props employed by Carpenter include furnace filters, foam packing, muffin tins, and a beach ball with rubber feet (as the ship's pet alien). The bombs are hilarious and not to be missed. Recommended.
