Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaChristopher Plummer admitted that he did the film so he could visit Italy for free. In an interview he said "Give me Rome any day. I'll do porno in Rome, as long as I can get to Rome. Getting to Rome was the greatest thing that happened in that for me."
- GoofsWhen the characters reach the ice planet, they are told the temperature drops thousands of degrees once the sun sets. Unless the planet's surface temperature is literally thousands of degrees, which even Mercury isn't, the most it can drop would be to absolute zero (the temperature at which a thermodynamic system has the lowest energy): - 273 degrees Celsius (-273.15 °C or -459.67 °F).
- Quotes
The Emperor: You know, my son, I wouldn't be Emperor of the Galaxy if I didn't have some powers at my disposal. Imperial Battleship, halt the flow of time!
- Alternate versionsThere are two versions of this film, the U.S Theatrical Version and the longer European Version which has more opening titles.
- ConnectionsEdited into Escape from Galaxy 3 (1981)

Featured review
Best worse movie ever
If you want to see how bad this is, spare yourself the whole thing and just watch the opening scene. Watching the horrible actors manage flub the timing of their three-word sentences is a sight to behold.
Funny? Absolutely! Watching the bad guy order his troops into combat with the stirring words of "Kill!" while they slide down the bat poles will bring a smile to the face of anyone. And that soundtrack, wow!
Forget the nonsensical plot, terrible special effects and poor acting, it's got Christopher Plumber and a bunch of excuses for Stella Star to get attacked by the worst stop-frame animated robots in history. What more could you ask for?
