Prison Ship, also known as Star Slammer, Adventures of Taura, Part 1, Star Slammer: The Escape and Prison Ship Star Slammer, is a 1986 American science fiction film directed by Fred Olen Ray.

Production

The film was originally shot at Roger Corman's New World Pictures studio on Main Street in Venice, California. Fred Olen Ray rented the studio for two weekends (four days). One day he spent shooting scenes for his film Biohazard. The other three days were spent filming promotional footage for a movie he wanted to make called Prison Ship. Ray says he was inspired by Roger Corman making The Terror using left over sets from The Raven.

Ray then met producer Jack H. Harris at the American Film Market and showed him some footage he had shot for a movie called Prison Ship. Harris agreed to finance the film for $200,000 if it was called Star Slammer. Ray's fee was $15,000 and 50% of worldwide profits.

Ray made the film immediately after The Tomb and designed it to be a multi-chapter serial film. He originally hired Richard Hench to build sets but then felt the sets were costs and taking too long so he used Wayne Springfield, art director of Forbidden World. There were two days of filming at Iverson Ranch.
