Who can forget that spaceship flown by "Shad" (Richard Walton). It looked like a uterus and ovaries! They must have invested in having many ship designs for this movie. I have seen the same ships in so many other low-budget movies. I think the footage of the spaceship exteriors is getting licensed. I just saw them in "Last Exit to Earth" (1996). It is funny to see the same footage represent good guys in one movie and then bad guys in another movie. All of them are sub par but must be loved for the earnest messes they are. Right when Science Fiction films were becoming big budget blockbusters "Battle Beyond the Stars" was the answer no one asked for. This movie has a shock value derived from it's schlock value. This movie would have been forgotten if it weren't so amateurish that it was available cheap for endless showings on cheap cable channels. I ought to watch it again.
