Wow, that's a blast from the past... of my childhood. I remember seeing the film and reading the book... great fun at that time. Also thanks for providing the details again. How did you find that ship after all that time? :)

Wow its a while since I saw that film, must be showing my age now. Still an exceptional ship design and a lot of people forget The Last Starfighter was the first film to make use of CGI or was it Tron. I can never remember they both came out around the same time.

I think they pushed the amount of CGI way beyond what had been done before - Tron came out in 82 and Starfighter in 84 - It's interesting that in the Wiki page on CGI, Starfighter is a 'commercial failure' when in fact it cost $15m and made $28m... and Tron also, which cost $17m and grossed $33m... If that's 'failing' then I want to 'fail' in business too...
