Space Mutiny is one of those bad Star Wars rip off. This one uses stock footage from both the original Battle Star Galactica and from the real Star Wars movies for the space battle footage. That the movie want to be associated with Star Wars become obvious since even the music during the opening credits remind me of Star Wars. The movie is happening far in the future in Spaaaace, where humanity now live on large spaceships. One of these spaceships is the setting for the movie. However there is an evil mutiny plot masterminded by the ship's Security Chief Evil McNazi. Evil McNazi is actually only want to settle on a planet, but that is forbidden for humans, since Spaaaace, just like Earth has some really stupid laws. So he and his co-conspirator the Chief Engineer Mr. Lame plots to take over the ship and colonize a planet, and sell all those crewmates who resist them as slaves to pirates or something. However the ship has a Hero: Hero McPilot who is played by Reb Brown! Reb Brown is known for not being able to act, but always getting to play hero in cheap action movies. Hero McPilot also have an obligatory love interest: Doctor Blondie Bitch, who is the daughter of the ship's Commander. And then there are those telepathic psycho bitches that somehow are important to the plot but I haven't figured out how.
So, this movie has really bad acting, that some times get really hilarious, and other times are just lame and boring as shit. There are also lot of juicy symbolism, Mr. Lame has an SS-badge on his uniform, very subtle. Also for some reason the space ship has a nightclub, why I don't know. And we have a continuity error, a female officer who is killed: Lieutenant Curly Hair is seen working on the bridge after she's killed off. A Clone I say!! Well, at least the villain has a great laugh, and all good movie villains have that. And a lot of the scenes are really goofy, and there are a common theme of Evil McNazi's men being really stupid and incompetent. However the Space Bazookas, while awesome, are way to small. No way bazookas in space would be smaller than on Earth. In Spaaaaace everything is bigger. And yes, in several scenes it's plainly obvious they are not in space. Windows with sunshine for example (lol).
The movie is okay, some of the crappy acting is hilarious, but other times things just seem to drag a bit. The villains are the best. Evil McNazi and Mr.Lame are so juicy evil. And Mr. Lame wins the prize in Douche Baggery for killing his own men. If you like crappy SciFi and Reb Brown, then Space Mutiny (or Mutiny in Space as it also is called) is for you.
