Didn't they use special effects out of another film in it?
Yeah it was a favourite of mine too. I never realised until a lot later it was a remake of The Magnificent Seven with a space setting.
The special FX were reused in Space Raiders a couple of years later. It was a Roger Corman film and he was famous for streching his resources.

I believe James Cameron and Bill Paxton worked on this film set dressing and special FX and thats where they met. So Hudson fans owe this film some respect!
