Does anyone here remember this movie?  I never even heard of it until I came across this trailer.

Too many people criticize these b-movie gems because of their low budget special effects without taking into account what is being accomplished within those restraints. Roger Corman is the master of creating some of the most imaginative SF films ever committed to celluloid while bearing the weight of critical bludgeoning for daring to create films that are less than "Top Shelf".

Tell me about it.  I thought Corman's "Battle Beyond the Stars" was awesome.

I saw it on tv way back in the early-mid 80s and loved it. Finally saw it again this year and, uh, it's not quite what I remember. It's good fun though for what it is.

At 1st view, I thought it was a classic 60s B movie!!! This movie is new to me...I must see it....thanx :)

New World Pictures is the Trademark of Quality , baby. Even when PAUL BARTEL , DICK MILLER AND , ESPECIALLY , MARY WORONOV , ARE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND....That IS Caroline Munro , tho' , right? Bonus points to 'em there. New Era saw us through the last true B- movie era , which came to a (Star) CRASH AS EARLY AS 1980. oF COURSE , THOUSANDS OF LOW BUDGET NON - STARTERS MADE IT TO VIDEO , BUT , BY THE 80's , the glory days of trash matinees were over , with  few exceptions....
