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.

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.
