Ian N @Nindie2026 Apr 21 Just watched this again. I did enjoy it but it does pale quite a bit when you realise it came out three years after Star Wars and a couple of months after Empire Strikes Back. Those films, particularly Empire, are vastly superior. I am assuming the budget for this film was quite small. I would put it on a level with Battlestar Galactica. Fun but a bit of a cringe in places.

George Peppard (The A-Team) and Robert Vaughn (Man From U.N.C.L.E) bring the cool, charm and class, while Sybil Danning heaves her mighty bosom! Some future behind-the-camera stars got their big break too - James Horner (Titanic) scored the film, John Sayles (The Secret Of Roan Inish) wrote the script and James Cameron (The Terminator) worked his magic on the cheap and cheerful FX. It was Corman’s most expensive feature costing $2 million, but earned $11 million at the Box Office… I was 9 years old when this came out and I fondly remember seeing this many times, in the cinema as well as on TV… after 45 years it still retains its creaky, campy, naïve charm🤩 Mikey’s Rating: 3/5* or 5/5* (depending on alcohol level😅👌) See more Cees T @RT15093300 03/10/2025 Star Wars / Seven Samurai ripoff.

Underdeveloped characters, unoriginal plot, tacky visual effects and no sense of joy at all See more Read all reviews
