 April 10, 2013 - 7:06pm | Its one heck of a corny rip off of star wars and magnificent 7 but I rather enjoyed Battle Beyond the Stars way back and I was just looking at a movie poster for it and, ya know, that star ship has hooters. Maybe I just have a fixation with that female body part but I'm looking at it with older eyes and thats what comes to mind, in fact the ship had a female voice and was a bit motherly to the main character, John Boy Walton. Well not John Boy but the same actor. So I"m going with that ship having boobs. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://blogs.eesti-life.com/gavin/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/battle_beyond_stars_poster_01.j... Here's the trailer on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksJTPdNNQB4 I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 April 10, 2013 - 7:29pm | To me, the ship always looked like a big torso, and the "boobs" looks like a big round ass. But now I see it.  |
 April 10, 2013 - 7:59pm | That movie was painful to watch. I would not pay to see Buck Rogers in the 25th century in theaters and that show was far better than this movie, even in its final season.

 April 10, 2013 - 11:56pm | That ship always reminded me of a horses body, no legs and no head, just the body. |
April 11, 2013 - 1:14am | So, what was the name of that ship, the USS Rorschach?  |
April 11, 2013 - 2:53am | I beleive the class of ship was a Corsair- I had not heard that name before and it stuck in my mind from the movie. Thats actually how I expanded my vocabulary was on sci fi and fantasy novels (and to a lesser extent movies) encountering new words used in context and figuring out their meaning from seeing them used in contest. This movie was pure cheese, but it came out at a time when I enjoyed a lot of cheesy things, I'm sure it would rate with Jason of Star command as tough to watch now as an adult.

 April 11, 2013 - 5:51pm | Come on, even as a kid I saw it and immeadatly could see it had boobs. And George Pepard as weapons hauling cargo pilot. Interestingly Robert Vaughn was in both The Magnificent 7 and this movie, and him and John Saxon were probably the biggest part of this films budget. In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
 April 12, 2013 - 8:21pm | I remember seeing that on the big screen. re: corsair - Traveller uses that term for pirate vessels preying upon other craft. Typically they pose as something else: freight hauler in need of escort, craft in distress, etc and upon receiving assistance it "turns corsair" and attacks. |
 April 13, 2013 - 7:35am | So I am guessing I am the only one who saw that ship as a bull's head? Straight pointed horns for the wings, cockpit glass for the eyes and the so called hooters were its flaring nostrils. I lived in the suburbs of New York at the time and hadn't seen many bulls but that is what I got from it. Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |

I saw it as ugly, ungainly, and it really didn't make much sense. The Millenium Falcon --- even with its paper thin "thruster wall" propelling 25 meters worth of mass at star fighter grade performance --- was more thought out than that clap trap. IIRC it was James Cameron's first hollywood project, I'd thought I read he was a model maker for that film. |

Well, that explains the boobs. :P (Seriously, though, the boobs were probably Roger Corman's idea. When you analyze how many boobs he has exposed in his films then it kinda fits that he would fit them into a kid's movie in a PG fashion.)

Well that Valkyrie chick in Battle Beyond the Stars definitely had some boobage. |
April 15, 2013 - 1:34pm | LOL. Indeed. Even revealing aside from painted nipples. View my profile for a list of articles I have written, am writing, will write. "It's yo' mama!" —Wicket W.

Well that Valkyrie chick in Battle Beyond the Stars definitely had some boobage. Sybil Daning who has been in more than her share of B movies with ample bust exposure as well. In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |

April 16, 2013 - 10:13am | That looks really familiar. CGI, you said? I feel like I've seen that ship around this site in CGI...a lot. Circumcision doesn't look right on ships. Though, you might want to take that down before any fundamentalist on this site has an anurism. Though, personally, I don't care.

I don't think anyone cares - nether the racy pic, nor the whinny prudes. I found out long ago that placating to fundamentalists is a no-win scenario. Plus, a thread with that title is not likely going to keep a straight face with the topic. As for the CGI-ness of the pic. I called it "CGI," as it looks like a 3D rendering. I only added the caption, as folks never quite place the pics I post. Whoever made it, also made it in gold, which looks like what C-3PO had on, in his old Star Wars trading card. (That pic, I will not post!  ) |

April 16, 2013 - 4:03pm | Someone else got up tight about my fembot in one of the issues of SFman and was opposed to any kind of Star Frontiers pin-ups.

April 16, 2013 - 5:03pm | The UPFS Admiral Ron Jeremy, the finest boat to poke its one eye into the mysterious dark void. Many an adveturess has cast a lustful eye on this fine gleaming hot rod, envying it's sheer size and prowess yet eager to tame its enduring thrust. Nay, all it takes is a soft and gentle tug on the yoke and this wonderous marvel will catapult even the most daring and bashful alike to incredible peaks. "Of course you'll have to frag me, I'm the captain!" |
