Trivia / Battle Beyond the Stars

• Breakthrough Hit: For James Horner.
• Completely Different Title
  • A curiously clever example: the film was released in Spain as Los Siete Magníficos del Espacio (The Magnificent Seven Of Space).
  • Antagonist Title: In Germany, the film was titled Sador: Ruler of Space.
  • In Brazil, the movie was called Mercenários das Galáxias (Mercenaries of the Galaxies).
• Prop Recycling: The miniature for Sador's battleship was reused for the film Emanuelle in Space.
• Romance on the Set: James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd met on this film and decided they wanted to work together (the deal was that Cameron would direct and Hurd would produce).
• Similarly Named Works: Battle Beyond the Sun, also produced by Roger Corman.
• What Could Have Been: Screenwriter John Sayles had originally envisioned Cayman as a brooding dark humanoid, not the reptilian alien seen in the final product.
