On his IMDB profile page, actor Reb Brown lists his trademarks as “muscular physique” and “incoherent screaming.” It’s a sure bet both came in handy when he was the star of “Space Mutiny” in 1988.
“Space Mutiny” is about spaceship passengers whose security crew decides to sell them into intergalactic slavery. Another ship’s crew must rescue the people from a fate worse than death.
The South African schlockfest also stars John Philip Law, a bad sci-fi vet as the star of “Barbarella.”
A movie like that is ripe for RiffTrax riffing. Michael J.
