The Adventures of Captain Zoom in Outer Space (Shirley Walker)


The peaceful rebels of the planet Pangea are under siege by the vicious Lord Vox (Ron Perlman) and they could use a hero. Unfortunately, the best they can do is an actor (Daniel Riordan) best known to TV audiences as Captain Zoom. Not as well known as the later Galaxy Quest, but just as entertaining, with amusing lines and a game cast.

Shirley Walker provides some exciting action cues as well as quieter moments that, surprisingly, aren't diminished by the budget-dictated inclusion of electronics. Topping it off is an appropriately rousing main theme put through a number of permutations, from the amusingly cheesy organ version for the TV scenes to a particularly lovely rendition in "Stargazing".
