I'm looking for a 1970s or 1980s sci-fi space movie. If memory serves me correctly, this was a comedy/scifi of sorts. I saw it on HBO once, back in the early 1980s.

The scene I remember is that the human character is floating through a black hole or something like that. He was floating through space and time, so to speak, without a ship. He is wearing a possibly dark blue or black jumpsuit with a zipper up the front and no helmet. It looked as if he were floating towards the camera. 

An alien face appears and spits in his face and says in a raspy voice, “Ha ha ha, I always liked that one.” The face tells some sort of bad joke. Then it just kind of disappears. The alien face was a large, translucent circle. Possibly with a cigar. It is not humanoid. Its voice was sort of like Pizza the Hutt from Spaceballs but without the accent. It was on the character’s right and the audience's left. It may have looked like a comical depiction of the Earth's moon, but it was translucent like a ghost.

Black is the only color in the background I can remember. It faded slowly into the emptiness of the time warp / black hole.

It wasn’t The Ice Pirates. I just finished watching that movie.

  • Hi, welcome to SF&F. What kind of clothes is the human wearing? A spacesuit, a jumpsuit, what?

  • Do you remember any colors of that scene? Background, lights? Was alien face humanoid or no? Commented Apr 12 at 8:42
  • Not humanoid. Black is the only color in the back round I can remember. Btw everyone, thank you. This has been bugging me for 22 years. I saw the movie on HBO once back in the early 1980s.
