"Battle Beyond The Stars"
The third, and by far the worst, movie based on the same story, the
others
being Kurosawa's classic "Seven Samurai", and the old pot-boiler western
"The Magnificent Seven".
OTOH although the movie as a whole is rancid, it has some excellent bits
in:
Robert Vaughn (the man from UNCLE)'s portrayal of the
Fastest-Gun-In-The-West who's so darned TIRED of killing is pretty good.
The
guy who plays the leader of the A-Team, and that Polish detective's
portrayal of a genuine Earthman who's into bona-fide Earth History is
great.
But John-Boy Walton etc are ....forgettable.
