Yeah, it was modelled after a human female, and from certain angles that is more prominent; but, from others, it looks more like a flying scrotum. Maybe Corman could work out a crossover with Flesh Gordon.

Yeah it was kind of strange looking , It had an organic look.

Its called Nell after Nell Gwynne , she was a well known character in English History, and she had big boobs, i explained this once, but it was deleted, obviously historical facts offend the imdb.

No, I found the clone trooper dropship to be quite different from the flying snail with breasts.

i agree with you on the unlyness of the ship
however, the flamer i was referring to in my post was acting like a fascist. the original poster has the right to say that 'a ship was used in some other film' or some such if correct. it is not a sign of disrespect but a declaration of fact.
and so were my comments, they were based on fact and are not an opinion unlike much of the silliness that goes on in forums.
have a good day my friend
cheers

Micky, that's not what the poster who mentioned "knowing" about Corman meant, I'm sure. While he deserves a lot more respect than you're giving him (and putting aside the folks who'd never have had careers without him Jim Cameron?), he is famous for re-using material from his other productions hence, I'm betting, the reply to a post saying "hey, they re-used some stuff from BBTS in another Corman film did you know that?"
Oh, and I think poor Nell is about the ugliest ship I've ever seen in any sci-fi film!

Why? What's so great about him? Looking at his history he has mainly produced b-grade films and has no significant awards to his name.

It looked like a moose. in a remake, Tom Greene could fly it.

No,you're not alone there.Face on, the ship is very similar to the text-book diagram of the female reproductive system.From other angles it looks like a massive pair of tits.Either way,definitely should have been Sybil Danning's ride!

Ship had TITS, man!

Did anyone think that the ship looked like a model of a vagina?
The main body of the ship being the womb, and the two mandible-type things above the cockpit being the Fallopian Tubes.
I probably should get out more.
