Space Mutiny is a 1988 action/sci-fi film about a mutiny aboard the spaceship known as the Southern Sun. The movie was later lampooned on an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. The movie's stars were Reb Brown, Cissy Cameron, Cameron Mitchell and John Phillip Law. The spaceship effects were lifted wholly from Battlestar Galactica.
Despite comments made during its airing as an MST3K episode, the movie was not made in Canada, but rather in South Africa during the apartheid period. This has led some viewers to consider the all-white nature of the cast as racist rather than coincidental.
The most noteworthy features of the movie are the massive continuity error where a female cast member can be seen working at her computer console despite being killed by the villain in the previous scene, and the amazingly slow-paced and suspense-lacking chase in what look to be floor polishers in the end.
