Prison Ship (1986)

aka "Star Slammer," aka "Starslammer: The Escape," aka "Prison Ship Star Slammer," aka "Adventures of Taura, Part 1," aka "The Adventures of Taura: Prison Ship Star Slammer," proving again that a film's greatness is inversely proportional to how many names it was marketed under.

Low-budget sci-fi schlock from Fred Olen Ray that can't decide if it wants to be a women-in-prison flick, a female barbarian flick, or Star Wars.

The production value is actually very good for the budget, but the poorly written, nonsensical script, wildly uneven tone, and flat, lifeless line delivery undermine what'd otherwise be a very solid also-ran B flick.

The best part of this one was the guest appearance of The Deadly Spawn, from it's own much superior B movie.

Really love The Deadly Spawn and its spiritual sequel Alien Metamorphosis or whatever it's called

@ieure @bmoviebonanza

Looks and sounds like "Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity" (which I have watched, unlike this one). And what do you know, that's the first "More like this" title on imdb.
