Space Mutiny
1988 - Not Rated - 1h 31m
A pilot is the only hope to stop the mutiny of a spacecraft by its security crew, who plot to sell the crew of the ship into slavery.
It would be sad if it weren't so pathetic.
OK, folks! Don't worry, I won't be giving away anything important, although I don't think I could spoil this movie if I tried. So off we go...
As what sounds like Kintaro's arrangement of 'O Fortuna' wafts our way, we are subjected to the film's opening credits. They look like they were produced by a Commodore 64 and they freeze up more than once because there are too darned many moving objects on the screen.
Welcome to Battlestar Galactica-- I mean, the Southern Sun! This ship is home to an entire civilization, despite the fact that 90% of it appears to be a brewery. In charge of this magnificent flying basement is Captain Santa Claus, assisted by his Billy-Idol-wannabe sidekick. I've seen this movie at least a dozen times and still am not really sure what the plot is, but it has something to do with a greasy-haired guy named Kalgan trying to disrupt the transportation of a bunch of magical -- and (of course) extremely horny -- women. Santa puts our seemingly brain-damaged hero Ryder in charge of defeating Kalgan. Meanwhile Captain Santa's daughter Leah, who somehow doesn't seem much younger than the Captain himself, gets pretty chummy with Ryder. In the words of Crow T. Robot: "If you pretend you know what's going on, it's actually kind of exciting."
Watch and enjoy the following: Vacu-formed unitards, ridiculously small weapons, Santa's incredibly fake beard, tinfoil muu-muus, Kalgan's giggling fits, Ryder's bizarre reaction shots, a woman who punches in at work despite the fact that she was just murdered, Leah's sensual Dance of the Hoola Hoop, the most '80s bar scene EVER, women who reeeeeally like Van DeGraf Generators, countless shots of computer screens (graphics by Kenner), Ryder's attempt to say 'auxiliary', and numerous molasses-fast chase scenes involving golf carts... or floor waxers or something.
This movie is not campy; it's just that everything is wrong in all the right ways. Acting, sets, lighting, costumes, dialogue... they're all just plain goofy. These folks tried to make an exciting space-drama -- and maybe it would've been if they had dared to take ANYTHING up a notch -- but every aspect of it just says, "space movie" and nothing more.
If this movie was just plain bad, you might have to feel sad for the people that made it, thinking it would work. However, it makes such a leap into the ridiculous that you just have to laugh. A must-see for fans of so-bad-it's-good movies. And whether you love or hate sci-fi, this is a very funny movie.
I give it a 4 -- it may not affect you the way it's supposed to, but it's great entertainment."

Steven McClintock - Edge Of A Dream - (Unofficial Music Video) [HD]
Edge Of A Dream is PEAK 80's! I'm not sure why this song and a couple others from this artist weren't major hits, and never got the music video treatment. If there's one redeeming quality to the movie Space Mutiny, it's that it featured this 3 minutes and 55 seconds of 1980's audiological excellence. As a tribute to both I have crafted this music video from restored and upscaled footage in the hopes that others will enjoy it and not let it be forgotten.

They won't start filming until SAG has a contract, but they're getting the ball rolling. Help spread the word!

The posts that have been going around about ChatGPT sounding like "chat j'ai pété" (which in French means Cat, I farted) of course made me think about Quest of the Delta Knights. As most things do.
When David Warner and Tee are pretending to be magi in order to get access to the map, Tee is introduced as "Guy à la Pété." Or "Guy in the manner of Farted"
