Battle Of The Stars (1978)

aka's: Battaglie Negli Spazi Stellari/War In Space

Rare Italian Sci-Fi adventure influenced by Star Wars (1977) and often confused with another Italian Sci-Fi film titled Cosmos: War Of The Planets (1977) (also available here at Rare Movie Collector). In this film, aliens called the Gonians have used up all their natural resources and are now a dying and decaying species. They arrive in spaceships, along with their super computer, to take over the earth and use the healthy bodies of humans to replace their own. With space mummies, the super computer, and their ability to take on the shape of trusted humans, the Gonians attempt to sabotage Earth’s defense system before their entire invasion fleet can land. Defense system designer, Mike Layton, (John Richardson) and his pretty girlfriend/scientist, Diane, (Yanti Somer) are the earth’s only hope. Also stars Gisella Hahn and West Buchanan. Also with Aldo Canti (aka: Nick Jordan) and Malisa Longo.
