{{quote|''"Space, the primal frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Kickstart. Its five-month mission: to seek out Lebensraum for humanity and to destroy all enemies. To boldly blow up enemies where sane men fear to tread."''|[[Opening Narration]] of ''Star Wreck II: The Old Shit''}}
 
Once upon a time, there was a Finnish guy called Samuli Torssonen. He was a huge fan of ''[[Star Trek]]'' and a computer geek. One day in 1992 he decided to combine those two things and created a short CGI film called '''''Star Wreck'''''. Eventually he made more with the help of his friend Rudi Airisto, who in turn couldn't stand ''[[Star Trek]]'' and made sure to mock the hell out of it in the scripts. ''Star Wreck'' turned into a parody series of ''[[Star Trek]]'' featuring James B. Pirk, a gigantic douche in control of a spaceship called C.P.P. Kickstart, and his crew [[The Spock|Mr. Spökö (Spook)]] and Mr. Fukov.
 
Many years later, Torssonen and his friends upped the ante and started to make a feature length live action ''Star Wreck'' film. The project kept escalating until ''Star Wreck: In The Pirkinning'' was finally released over Internet after 7 years of production. Thanks to completely professional-looking graphics, fairly good performances from amateur actors and combining the universes of ''[[Star Trek]]'' and ''[[Babylon 5]]'' in one big parody space brawl, the film became a huge phenomenon, eventually seeing a DVD release, a revised version called Imperial Edition, a [[Tabletop RPG]] and much more. And everybody involved in the filmmaking lived [[Happily Ever After]].
Line 17:
* ''Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning'' (2005): Set after the events of ''Lost Contact'', Pirk gets fed up with life on past Earth and decides to found the P-Fleet himself. Joining forces with the President of Russia, Pirk builds a fleet and takes over the world, becoming Emperor Pirk. When [[Uncanny Family Resemblance|Sergey Fukov]] discovers a maggot hole, Pirk leads his fleet through it and ends up in an alternate universe. Planning to take over the alternate Earth as well, he engages in a massive space battle with the troops of the space station Baabel 13 led by Captain Johnny K. Sherrypie. (And the film cost less than one second of [[Titanic]].)
 
The films can be viewed for free from various sources on the Internet, and the official site is [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20090227070306/http://starwreck.fi/ here]. Torssonen and co. have since moved on and produced ''[[Iron Sky]]'', a film about Nazis on the moon.
 
Not to be confused with the ''[[Alvin and The Chipmunks]] Go To The Movies'' episode of the same name.
