Battle Beyond The Stars
Originally released: 1980
Sci-fi pulp hokum from Roger Corman sees Richard "John Boy Walton" Thomas saving his planet from destruction with the help of ragtag space mercenaries. A feeble space update of Seven Samurai (actually more likely The Magnificent Seven) with Robert Vaughn and George Peppard starting their decline. Hell, the ship has a silky woman's voice and breasts! Likeable if really quite bad, but notable because James Cameron did the special effects. Things could only get better!
