Would you contain a spaceship with breasts? There’s one in this 1980 Roger Corman location opera! The spaceship has a female computer personality named Nell and a decidedly feminine shape, which includes two gigantic breast-like mounds on its underside. Since there is no nudity in this movie, which is unique in a Corman film, he had to pick up the breasts in somewhere, so model designer/builder/art director James Cameron establish them on the station craft! Very humorous indeed! Cameron went on to beget bigger and better things, like the Ample.
Battle Beyond the Stars was the biggest-budgeted movie Corman had ever made up to that time, about 2 million dollars, and his money is up there on the camouflage, with pleasurable sets, top-notch props, excellent special effects, and a fine cast. In typical Corman fashion everything except the cast was broken-down over and over again in other location sagas he made. Destroy not, want not! is his credo, and he boasts that he’s never lost a dime on any of his movies. I enjoy it.
The station of this movie was stolen shamelessly from Akira Kurosawa’s classic Seven Samurai, so if you liked that Japanese memoir and its American remake, The Graceful Seven, you should like Battle Beyond the Stars, too. It objective goes to demonstrate that if you have to pick a yarn, you might as well acquire a gigantic one!

The cast includes Richard Thomas, honest out of his John-Boy of The Waltons role, as a terrible man’s Luke Skywalker recruiting mercenaries George Peppard, Robert Vaughn, Marta Kristen, and Sybil Danning, among others, to fight the immoral conqueror Sador, played by John Saxon, always a gracious villain.
Never one to miss a trend, or begin one, Corman cashed in on the phenomenal success of Star Wars with Battle Beyond the Stars. It’s a fun film and I recommend this DVD widescreen edition. There’s engrossing commentaries by Gale Anne Hurd, John Sayles and Roger Corman, movie trailers, biographies, trivia game, scene index — but the usual Corman filmography booklet is absent here.
Great memories accompany this movie for me, thankfully the producers of this DVD have honored this production with a jam-packed feature fleshy of special features. I was not even a teenager when this movie was released help in 1980 yet a group of friends and I made the pilgrimage to a local cinema to eye it. With an intriguing status of diverse characters the movie plays as a science fiction version of the Seven Samurai. A “Dazzling Seven in Place” as it were, it even features Robert Vaughn of that 60s gem. The actual pleasure of the DVD however is the wealth of special features. We not only have one optional audio commentary, but two very informative pieces. There are preview trailers for other Corman productions such as “Piranha”. We even gain a trivia game. I certainly recommend this movie.
