Sci-fi meets martial arts in this lively chronicle of a warrior pilot who returns to his native planet to find it controlled by a wicked tyrant Captain Kogar. He also finds his family has been slaughtered and so now it is up to him and his pals to kick the heck out of Kogar and return the planet to its rightful rulers. This film was assembled from episodes of the Japanese TV series, Message from Space: Galactic Warriors (which in itself was a spinoff from the feature Message from Space).

Viewing Notes
Somehow this came back into my brain recently when I was cataloging more DVDs. Thought I bought it on DVD at G-Fest but did not so I wanted to watch it (forgetting that I did watch it back it July). This is one that I’d like to have a good version on home video. It’s just a fun flick that loosely carries on the mythology from MESSAGE FROM SPACE and the subsequent TV series.
