i have watched this one several times.  the people i remember being in the
show are Richard Thomas and Robert Vaughn.  the heavy is someone i recognise
who normally plays such roles, but his name escapes me.  i was always under
the impression that the movie was made a another spoof, albeit a rather
high budget spoof.  the special effects are very good (i've seen better, but
only a few times).  the plot is straight out of the space westerns or
starwars.  for that matter, it has similarities to `the last starfighter'.
some of the things that stand out are the four white communal mind aliens,
the two `heat-emitting' aliens that glowed in the dark, and the computer
that ran Richard Thomas' ship.
