Scorpio One (1998)
4/10
Welcome to the space station of confusion.

Warning: Spoilers
I became a real space cadet trying to figure this one out, definitely a D grade science fiction piece of convoluted dreck, although amusing when I was able to follow what was happening and memorable for the cast. It seems that there's some sort of conspiracy going on, leaving everyone aboard space station Scorpio One dead, and more murders taking place. A crooked senator, a female Bond like CIA agent and traitors among Steve Kanaly's crew trying to find what happened to the badly burnt crew found when Kanaly and his crew (which includes Robin Curtis and Robert Carradine) board.

Someone's face literally cracks in one of the film's most laughable moments, and a shootout in a space warehouse with Judith Chapman, her associate and guards chasing them is unintentionally funny too. Nice to see soap diva Chapman in this glamorously tough role, although I had a hard time figuring out whether she was on the side of right or wrong. The technical details were a bit messy, and I eventually just focus on the main details over the more obscure ones. Not my cup of space java, but not entirely awful either.
