Interesting facts

Star Odyssey is a 1979 Italian film directed by Alfonso Brescia. The film is also known as Space Odyssey, Metallica and Captive Planet in other video markets.

Production

Star Odyssey is one of five low-budget Italian space opera films produced by director Alfonso Brescia (under the pseudonym Al Bradley) in the wake of the success of Star Wars. It is the fourth installment in the cycle, following Cosmos: War of the Planets (1977), Battle of the Stars (1978), and War of the Robots (1978).

The production heavily re-used miniature effects, models, and costumes from Brescia's previous feature, War of the Robots. To save costs, the film utilized low-budget props; a review in Popular Mechanics noted that the "light-sabers" featured in the film were merely cardboard swords coated with fluorescent paint.
