History Trivia / SpaceMutiny

* IronyAsSheIsCast: James Ryan, who portrays the EvilCripple [=MacPherson=], is an accomplished martial artist in real life.

* PopCultureUrbanLegends: Contrary to what you may have heard, Cisse Cameron is not Cameron Mitchell's daughter, or otherwise related to him. This misconception likely stems from a combination of Crow jokingly speculating that Cisse is his daughter during the [=MST3K=] episode, and the fact that Mitchell's ''actual'' daughter, Camille, voices the lead Bellerian. His ''son'', meanwhile, appears onscreen as the Enforcer "Blake".

* FanNickname:
** "Lobster Boy" for Kalgan's bodyguard, who wears crinkly red armor plates that make him look like a lobster. And is played by a guy named Guy. Guy Pringle ("Wow, wouldn't wanna slam a stack of that guy.").
** Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 made a RunningGag out of making up nicknames for main character Dave Ryder, or rather ''Big [=McLargehuge=]''!

** Lea is often also referred to "Dr. Lady" by Mystery Science Theater fans.

* DawsonCasting: Lea (very obviously), Ryder (less obviously, making the former example all the more glaring). And yet he's older than her in real life, her makeup and hair make her look older.

* RomanceOnTheSet: The awkward romance between Dave and Lea is a major contrast to real life - Creator/RebBrown (Dave) and Cisse Cameron (Lea) fell in love during the Ted Knight Show back in 1979, and are still married today.

** The credited director, David Winters (whose other major contribution to the world of cinema was choreographing the dance routines in ''Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial'') actually only directed a small portion of it, after which he quit due to family troubles. He wanted his credit changed to AlanSmithee, but found out the hard way that the Director's Guild doesn't really care about the credits on low-budget exploitation films.

** "Lobster Boy" for Kalgan's bodyguard, who wears crinkly red armor plates that make him look like a lobster. And is played by a guy named Guy. Guy Pringle. I'd sure hate to slam a stack of that guy.

* ParodyRetcon: After achieving infamy thanks to its savaging from Mike and the Bots, Cisse Cameron claimed the movie was meant to be a parody of other sci-fi movies. Given how it looks just like any other cheaply-made sci-fi flick from the two decades proceeding it, most seem to have reacted with doubt.

* ParodyRetcon: Assuming you don't take Mrs. Cameron's insistence that this was a StealthParody at face value, of course.
