Star Knight


 Star Knight is a 1985 fantasy sci-fi film. It was directed by Fernando Colomo and the stars includes Klaus Kinski, Maria Lamor and Fernando Rey. 

Villagers are scared of a dragon they've witnessed and tell their king but no one believes them. The dragon is really a spaceship and piloted by an alien man who uses telepathy and anti-gravity. Both the alien and the princess are in love, and when she disappears, the king sends his most loyal knight to bring her back. 

Klaus Kinski plays Boecius, an alchemist of the castle household. His science, chemistry and medicine is seen as "demonic" by the religious fanatic priest. It's a type of film that should've been made into a TV series. Vincent Price, Charlton Heston, Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas were all offered the role to play Boecius earlier on but it fits Klaus Kinski better. This is a nice film with some cute romance, but feels awkward as the alien is unable to remove his helmet! 

I rate this nice Medieval sci-fi flick  6/10.
