Battle Beyond The Stars (1980):
Considering the budget and what Corman and co. were setting out to do, I was expecting “so bad its good” results. I was pleasantly surprised to find it to be pretty serviceable, as knock off of The Magnificent Seven/Seven Samurai and Star Wars its easily one of the best out there (More watchable than Star Crash, at least). It has its own unique production design, a great James Horner score and surprisingly detailed miniatures to boot and is clearly a labour of love for those worked on it. The camp didn’t bother much at all either, if anything it’s the kind of camp that I enjoy.

A fanedit that improves upon the space scenes with updated effects and less repeated space shots would actually be pretty awesome.
