About Mike Hensel
Expertise
I will try and answer all questions dealing with television...show names, plots, actors, roles, networks, etc...US shows primarily; not real knowledgeable on TV from other countries...I lean heavily into past, more so than current, television...and, my knowledge dealing with "reality" shows is limited, due to the fact that I really can't stand the genre (my apologies to all the "Reality" fans out there...)

Experience
Years of watching and cataloging television shows

Education/Credentials
High School Graduate

Question
hi saw a film in the early 80's maybe on telly,would love to get it only remember bits.sci fi sort of thing, if you imagine the back drop of the sand people in star wars thats the set!a man who looks after himself in a big metal tank sort of machine,&he ends up helping this teenage girl who has red hair,and he forces her to wash cause she stinks,she is adament their a team but he isnt, i think he calls her a nerfer which is an insult.theres some kind of scene where they have to swim through all these sexy looking women who are horrid and try to kill them!any ideas

Answer
OK, Aimi, here's the answer (tho this really belongs in the "Movies" section...

The movie you are asking about is called "Starhunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone", a movie released in 1983 from Columbia Pictures...

It starred Peter Strauss ("Rich Man, Poor Man") as Wolff, a space bounty hunter on the case of three missing women an a barren planet...

Molly Ringwald ("Sixteen Candles") played the girl, Nikki, a survivor of a doomed medical expedition to the planet...she survived for years using her quick wits...

Others in the cast were Ernie Hudson ("Ghostbusters") as Washington, a rival bounty hunter, Andrea Marcovicci ("One Life to Live" (I think)) as Chalmers, Wolff's robot companion, and Michael Ironside ("Scanners") as Overdog, the baddest of the bad guys...

By the way, I thought I answered this question a couple of days ago, but it seems that there is issues with my main computer (I'm on a different one right now...)

My apologies for being late...

Hope this answers your query !!!

Thanks for a Great Question !!!
Take Care,
Mike
