It would be interesting to catalogue all the movies that used the sets and/or sfx from this film. Apparently, Corman raided it a number of times. One more I can add is "Android" with Klaus Kinski, where I believe the sets are the same.

any other films that have pinched effects whole sale from other films?
I don't remember the title off the top of my head, but there's a low-budget action film that used the Cyberdyne shootout from Terminator II. Of course the closeups of Arnold were replaced with a different actor. I was surprised because I never expected to see a scene from such a well-known film used in a straight to video crapfest. -

I JUST saw this.
Some piece of garbage with Treat Williams as a security guard at a nuclear power plant.
Wasn't sure if the footage was the SAME but it sure looked much like T2.
Wow, that footage gets around!
I was actually thinking of the movie Militia (2000), starring Dean Cain.

After so many years, about the only "special effects" I remember seeing reused are shots of the truly strange looking space ship piloted by the hero in BBTS. I would love to see a list of the films featuring this weird ship, with an eye toward buying as many as possible on DVD. While I remember few details, I have the impression that some of the films featuring this little model were pretty entertaining.

Space Raiders (1983) This uses the weird ship you're talking about.
The others below use the other ships from BBTS.
Android (1982)
Forbidden World (1982)
Galaxy of Terror (1981)
Dead Space (1991)
Alien Avengers (1996) -

It was also featured in "Bachelor Party" with Tom Hanks. It was used in the last few scenes where Tom Hanks fought with the guy in the theater. Apparently, the space battle scenes were mixed in with some other "space opera" footage.

Yep, I remember some film from the 90s that had a weird command bridge(had this pyramid-shaped center), and lo and behold: the ship with the 2 hemispheres on the front(look like eyes: zador's soldier ships) is shown.
Heck, the sound FX in BBTS sound familiar to me: Star Wars, Transfomers & countless cartoons of the day. -

I vaguely remember as a kid, watching a two part sci fi murder mystery set on a giant ship aired on ITV. There was a competition to phone in who you thought was the killer. I believe they used Sador's hammerhead as the ship
He lives in your eyes! He's not human.
