I actually have a friend that at the time said "GP did a better Han Solo than Harrison Ford did." Meaning GP was truer to the cowboy image than HF was.

I was more effected by the death of the Nestor which has it's arm cut off.
Sybil Danning nearly turned me straight.

I was quite upset when gelt was blown out of the sky. I liked him the best!

Lizard mans death always got to me. He was my favorite!

Yep, that made me sad. But when Gelt went down, I was sadder.

Gelt was the best character by far.
I loved his speech about eating snakes. That stuck with me for years and is the main reason I am not a highly paid assassin. And when they buried him with a meal I was a mess. Me snd mate couldn't stop talking about it in school the next day.
And St Exmin was really cool aswell. I'm not sure I understood why she was so fascinating tome at the time but a recent rewatch made it clear.

Sador's death had me in tears. He only wanted to live forever!:(

When I saw this as a kid, I was really upset when Cowboy died. Watching it again today, I was really moved when Gelt died and Shad had a full meal buried with him to honor their bargain ("That was our arrangement - a meal and a place to hide")

Actually, I think that he knew that he wasn't coming back. He said farewell to the Akira woman that he befriended and I think they both knew that he was going off to die. Cowboy was honorable enough to go help his outnumbered comrades, despite the fact that he didn't want to fight (but he came anyway). His ship was basically a lightly-armed freighter and wasn't a match for the TEN nukes that were thrown in his direction by Sador. But at least he took out a couple of fighters before he bought it. And he went out with class.

Nobody got upset when Sybil Danning's character went out? Am I the only straight guy on this board?

I the time i thought she was kind of haggerd looking a nasty looking skank not nearly as cute as Holly Marshall, Dynagirl or Penny Robinson
But they should sent a call out to recruit more Space Valkyrie

LOL When this came on TV almost 30 years ago, I watched the scene where Cowboy's ship crashed and in the naive optimism of a 7 year old, I thought "He just might be still alive amongst that wreckage"

When I was a kid, I was sad for Cowboy, Gelt and even Nell. Can't remember if I cried but I was under 10 (not sure exactly when I saw it) so probably. Funnily enough though I don't think I would have cared if Shad had died. Lol. Goodnight Johnboy.

I have a soft spot from this film from back in my childhood as well. I remember being surprised that so many of the good guys bit the dust. (This was before I had seen anything like SMS). Great score and good cast as well. Enjoyable B-Movie.
