I'm pretty sure someone mentioned it, perhaps in net.movies.  You are
describing STARCRASH which starred Caroline Munro (as Stella Star)
along with Gortner and Plummer.  It was directed by Louis Coates
(Italian science fiction-fan Luigi Cozzi).  It won't win any prizes,
but it was well paced and better than literally hundreds of science
fiction films.
