#SPACE MUTINY MOVIE#

The technology is all old 80s 286 computers and plasma balls, which really dates the film. Most notably, all the offices come with windows in the background that have sunlit light sources coming through despite the ship supposedly being in space. Rather than actually build sets, much of the show has been shot in office buildings and an industrial plant. There are the plentiful absurdities and corner-cutting gaffes to the film. Hero Reb Brown and the bad guys do a lot of shooting in and around a factory and engage in races in ridiculous looking dodgem cars that travel about five miles-per-hour and go up in big explosions whenever they collide. The plot concerns John Phillip Law (who has a great evil laugh) and his plans to overthrow the ship – something he seems to take an awful long time getting around to doing. Most of the film is set aboard a spaceship and involves a lot of running around and shooting people up. It has been lampooned on Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1988-99, 2017-9) several times.

It has since become regarded as a bad movie classic for its cheap production values and laughable corner-cutting. Space Mutiny was a 1980s space opera, one of several films in a similar vein produced in this era.

They discover that Kagan has conscripted most of the ship’s security The Enforcers to his side and is threatening a violent takeover. The Viper’s pilot Dave Ryder joins Jansen’s daughter Lea to investigate, during the course of which they become attracted. Kagan sabotages the landing of a Viper ship, killing a professor on board.

However, Flight Commander Elijah Kagan is plotting a mutiny against the ship’s commander Alex Jansen, wanting to redirect the course of the ship to join the space pirates. The spaceship Southern Star has been sent on to colonise another world, a journey that will last thirteen generations.
