Just because I'm an SF junkie, I stopped in the neighborhood
theatre to see "Battle Beyond the Stars", starring Robert Vaughn,
among others. Lasted 20 minutes, almost throwing up it was so bad.
Started to walk out, but...

...didn't. Started laughing instead. Hilariously. It's an incredibly
camp spoof (B--) on all of the "Seven Samurai" takeoffs. Boy from
farm planet goes to look for help in repulsing the raiders... you
know the rest. Spaceships with horns, like cows. Warriors unsure
of their bravery. Etc. &c &c.

Side-splitting scene of Vaughn being lowered into his grave and being
covered with a sumptious 12-course banquet. "...why are you wasting
that food? He's dead! [Ans] Well, we promised him a hot meal."

(No, I don't recommend it, unless you're feeling wweeeeeeiiiiirrrrrdddd.)
