It came out soon after the original Star Wars first movie. Somehow it didn't win many awards?

The 80's was such a fun time, so many sci-fi films, so many were totally forgettable.

My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.

I remember watching this. A fairly good "popcorn" movie. I still remember bits and pieces.

I checked it out on IMDB. There was a quote that was different from what I remember.

Shad (Richard Thomas) at Gelt's (Robert Vaugh, loved his character) funeral:

"Prepare a hot meal and bury it with him. That was our arrangement: a hot meal and a place to rest."

From IMDB:

[Gelt dies]
Shad: Have somebody prepare a meal. Full course, then bury it with him. That was our arrangement: A meal and a place to hide.

I think my version is better. 🙂

PS. Does the pilot seat in the Valkyrie character's ship remind you of anything? Maybe an OB/GYN couch? I thought it was inappropriate at the time.

At the time I thought "Space Cowboy" was a stupid name. Now, I realize that someone from Arizona, far from home, might call himself "Arizona Cowboy". George Peppard was a good character, though.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

This was among the first sci-fi movies I saw when they came out and I loved it.  The first was Close Encounters of the Third Kind, then Star Wars, then Aliens, and then this.
