      NOICE. My comment saying Battle Beyond the Stars was better than Rebel Moon while still having a ship with a rack, but using the "B" word for that, was removed by UA-cam. Given other things I see on UA-cam comment wise I really have low faith in the efficacy of their mod efforts.

Most obviously, they’re not direct ripoffs of Akira Kurosawa’s own movies either. Sorry for my rambles, but not all #mockbusters are created equal anyways.
