Space Mutiny
From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
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 the original series. 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.
Notes
- The Southern Sun is the Galactica (using stock footage).
- The Southern Sun's ships are called Stingray vipers (using stock footage of Colonial vipers).
- In the opening minutes of the film there is a space battle with pirates (Cylon raiders).
- This movie was spoofed by Mystery Science Theater 3000, although a portion of the Galactica stock footage was edited out.
