Interesting facts

Space Rage: Breakout on Prison Planet is a 1985 American space Western film directed by Conrad E. Palmisano and starring Richard Farnsworth, Michael Paré, John Laughlin, Lee Purcell and William Windom. Some promotional materials have used the abridged title Space Rage. The original version of the film, Trackers, only received a test release and was not widely seen.

Production

The film was the brainchild of Beverly Hills psychologist Morton Reed. During a luncheon with film industry friends Roger Corman and Elliott Slutzky, he heard them complain about how hard it was to find fresh concepts. Reed, who had moonlighted as a writer, told them on a dare that he could easily come up with an exciting movie.

Principal photography began on January 26, 1985. During a personal appearance in early March, Farnsworth confirmed that he had just wrapped up work on the film. The movie was shot under the title A Dollar a Day. Shortly after however, it had been re-titled to Trackers: 2180 or just Trackers. Some sources mention another considered title, The Last Frontier.
