i also liked redtails, but back to the topic. i thought space raiders (1983) had some of the same fun that star wars had, anyone seen it? its on you tube.

I loved that Roger Corman documentary but I haven't seen any of his Sci-Fi stuff like 'Battle Beyond the Stars' or 'Space Raiders'.

Must add them to the watch list.

At school, I did eat the crisps though...

Be forewarned, SR is one of those Roger Corman productions using just about everything left over from Battle beyond The Stars,  including the FX shots. (The Wookiee like creature in the poster isn't even in the movie!) You're better off seeing BBTS first...

It's like Seven Samurai in space, and good fun. (The Blu Ray looks great.) Also, some kid named Jim Cameron worked on the models. ;)
