Jessup, forced to hide his true identity, is imprisoned on a deadly and desolate planet, the Star Prison. Banished to mine rabid rivers for the elusive Fire Gems, Jessup and his men must battle bands of derelict prisoners and fight the fatal fangs of the Star Worms in order to supply the Lords of the Evil Empire with the sacred source of their hedonistic hallucinogenic opiates. But the Empire had grown weak! The members of the all-powerful Imperial College slowly succumb to the seductive psychic release offered by their Pleasure Pod implants, their lustful desires leading them to anarchy and deception, and a death-ridden power play for control of the Star Prison, source of the priceless Power Gems. Jessup sees his chance for freedom in its passionate adventures of the Star Prison’s beautiful warden, Krista. Forced by her superiors to live on the barren planet, the voluptuous Krista finds solace through the Pleasure Pods and her frequent affairs with Jessup. Finally, Jessup convinces Krista of the shallow truth behind the Empires empty promised, and together, they begin an unbelievable effects-laden battle against the evil forces of the Empire! Troma’s Star Worms II: Attack of the Pleasure Pods combines passion, power, incredible action and unbelievable special effects to create one of the most startling, spine-tingling sci-fi action movies ever filmed in the galaxy!

If you really want, you can see a grandiose Godot-esque absurdist joke in this film, but it is more appropriate to admit that Star Worms II is simply a very ordinary mess with no hint of anything that would place the film beyond the definition of moving pictures (thought that is successfully called into question in the case of a number of scenes). After sitting through a few minutes of this work, it will come as no surprise that its maker, Lin Sten, never shot anything else, but at the same time it is obvious that Troma’s marketing department was paid handsomely. The film is taken beyond the realm of classic VHS trickery by the knitting together of such a magnificent trailer from this shit and the cutting out of such an attractive cover that some poor wretches actually rented it at video-rental shops. In fact, it’s possible to think of the trailer as the main work, which has lasting value, not only as mandatory study material in the field of marketing, while the scrum of shots crammed together into a feature-length film takes on a role of secondary interest at the level of a behind-the-scenes or blooper reel.
