Goofs

Crew or equipment visible: During Saint Exmin's final battle against Sador a crewmember can be seen on the left-side of the screen (over Sybil Danning's right shoulder). The crewman is visible during the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th cut to her during the battle. The crew person appears to be sitting just behind the wall immediately behind Sybil. See more »

Quotes

[Cayman's "Zymer" charges "Hammerhead"]
Cayman of the Lambda Zone: This is Cayman of the Lambda Zone, calling Sador of the Malmori. Turn around, you over-aged de-generate, and we'll bump heads!
Sador: ...Of what form are you, Cayman?
Cayman of the Lambda Zone: I am of the Lazuli.
Sador: I thought I had the honor of making that form extinct, long ago! I won't fail this time! HERE I COME, CAYMAN OF THE LAZULI!
