Um, it was released around 1977, I think. Had a couple of
sequels, as I recall. The name is on the tip of my tongue, but . . .

appreciate it greatly.
Waiting for replies...

"Spaceballs" is too new.
I think it is either "Message From Space", "The Shape Of Things To Come",
"Battle Beyond The Stars", or, most likely, "STarcrash".
Bahahahahahahahahaha.

No no no no no no no, silly, I saw the one he's talking about on video the
other night. One of my friends kept telling me how good it was. Frankly I was
kinda disappointed. I think the title was _Gone With The Wind_. Star Wars was
that strange Caesar Romero flick wasn't it?

Actually, one of the robots would periodically morph into a
sexy redhair, though.
I did think the spaceship battles were a gas!

Starcrash sounds right. Message from Space and Battle Beyond the Stars were
both Magnificient 7/Seven Samurai clones, and The Shape of Things to Come was
a very bad followup to the original.
What really impresses me about Starcrash is that enormous battle station that
looks like Michael Jackson'sl glove.
BogusMan
After some pondering, I realized that it has to be "The Black Hole".
Guy in black, 2 robots, etc...

Not to mention the inspired casting of Caroline Munro, David Hasselhoff <under
another name>, Marjoe Gortner and Joe Spinnell.
I just liked all the ultra-cheesy, psychedelic special effects.
but hey, "Message From Space" has the techno-swords, the cute robots, the
guy in black with a deep voice, etc...
So does "Battle Beyond the Stars".
but I think he was thnking of "The Black Hole".
BTW, "The Shape Of Things To Come" was hardly a followup to anything.
Especially not the original. Has nothing to do with Wells, except for the
title. But it does feature the swords, the robots, the guy in black with a
deep voice. And it is truly awful!

Actually, according to the write-up given in one magazine (either Starlog
or Cinefantastic, I don't have the article anymore) TSOTTC was really
supposed to be a sequel to the original.
Failed dismally in this, didn't it?
