Viewing Notes
Like a warm blanket I revisited Battle Beyond the Stars (1980), which I haven’t seen the 80s most likely. Why this film hasn’t received a decent DVD/BD release is “beyond” me… because hot damn do I still love this cheesy battle in space flick. Crazy how much of it I didn’t remember yet certain sequences are crystallized in my brain.
Robert Vaughn will forever be the badass that he is here. As a kid I never connected the Seven Samurai storyline but at least now I know why I enjoyed it so much then and still enjoy it now… because of that retelling of Kurosawa’s great tale (Magnificent Seven is also a favorite of mine).
