I was lucky to see a live riff on this by the Rifftrax guys (Mike, Bill & Kevin). That was way fun.
And it didn’t record sound, so the voices were dubbed later by only the director/star and maybe two other cast members.
Yeah, Rifftrax has done this for me too. I loved FOTR on Rifftrax.
More likely, it was to make them better soldiers by removing their fear of death. “Charge that machinegun nest? Sure, if it means I’ll never have to see I Accuse My Parents again.”
Anyway, I was thinking about Space Mutiny the other day, and it occured to me: this is a story about a colony ship, searching for an edenic new homeworld. An ambitious crewmember attempts to take control of the ship by using the promise of settling on a nearer, less ideal planet. This is pretty much exactly the plot of the New Caprica arc on the Battlestar: Galactica remake, isn’t it?
Similarly, take a look at the monster from Teenagers from Outerspace. Except, you can’t, because you never see it. You just see its shadow, because the special effects weren’t up to showing you the actual monster. But compare that to Jaws, where you (almost) never see the shark, and for the exact same reason: the damn shark robot kept breaking down. The special effects (although much more expensive) weren’t good enough for the needs fo the movie. But in Spielberg’s case, hiding the monster made for one of the most effective suspense movies ever. Both filmmakers had the same idea: make the movie scarier by not showing the monster. But there’s a lot of daylight between coming up with the idea, and executing it. And with movies, by the time you find out you can’t execute an idea, you’re already committed to creating the film.
I think the prize of my collection is Big Meat Eater.
Perquidlam is a quirky little town. A teenager is trying to build a nuclear powered rocket propelled car. The new butcher’s apprentice is a murdering psychopath. Aliens are watching the town. Everybody wants the radioactive Balonium underneath the butcher shop. Chaos ensues and everybody meats their fate.
Also, it’s a musical.
What I want to know is why they referred to the babboon as tired and old and worn out as if it were a real live animal…wasn’t it a computer simulation? (They really didn’t explain anything very well in that movie).
And why did they HATE ANT EATERS??!!
That is a possibility I hadn’t considered. It actually makes a lot of sense.
What are you, some kind of ant eater lover?
The simple truth is that Appolonia bungled and bobbled the Fingal-Dopple.
I don’t have anything against ant eaters, but I’m not a fanatic about them.
now chickens…other then providing eggs and meat, I hate 'em. 
(I’m only kidding. I don’t hate chickens.)
