Star Wreck is a series of Finnish Star Trek parody movies started by Samuli Torssonen in 1992. The first movie, simply named Star Wreck, was a simple Star Control–like animation with three ships shooting at each other, but the later movies featured animated characters, weird humour and later even real actors.
Star Wreck is a story about the adventures of James B. Pirk, Captain of starship C.P.P. Kickstart. Other characters include Mr. Fukov, Mr. Spook (Finnish: Mr. Spökö), Mr. Dwarf (Wuf), ensign Shitty and Mr. Info. The characters speak Finnish, but all movies are subtitled in English.
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is Torssonen's current project. It will be the first Finnish film featuring high quality special effects and space battles. Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning was started in 2000. The currently annouced release date is 20.8.2005. Star Wreck VI is intended to be published on DVD and the internet under a Creative Commons licence.
