| '''''Space Mutiny''''' is a 1988 South African science fiction film of dubiously cult notability for not only its lampooned production value, amongst which includes the use of ten minutes of [[Original Series]] footage. In addition to this footage, the basic plot is similar to that of ''Galactica'': a giant starship called the ''Southern Sun'' carries a large number of people on a trek through space hoping to colonize a new world.
| | This is a 1988 South African science fiction film that has nothing to do with Battlestar Galactica, but it uses approximately ten minutes of footage from the original series. Ironically, the basic plot is similar to that of Galactica. A giant starship called the Southern Sun is carrying a large number of people on a trek through space hoping to colonize a new world. |
| | |
| In 2020, the one-off audio production ''[[Saga of a Fugitive Fleet]]'' makes use of this story as a basis to launch that four-part series with permission of ''Space Mutiny''{{'|s}} writer, Maria Danté.
