This film has it all: spandex suited space aliens who will remind you of the brain gobblers from Monster Zero, neurotic robots who look like mummies, oriental (not Chinese) secret agents, terrible special effects, worse fight scenes, an incomprehensible intergalactic language, and the incredibly yummy Leontine May. In the pantheon of Italian science fiction, 2+5 Mission Hydra is perhaps only outdone in the cheap 'n cheesy stakes by those Argoman movies, but there's so much going on that it's hard to get bored with the proceedings. As for the Star Pilot reissue: did this really happen? Does anyone remember paying to see it in 1977? If there's an IMDb user out there had the misfortune of seeing this in expectation of more Star Wars style thrills, I'd love to hear your tale of woe!
