    • Trivia
      The 90 minute theatrical movie was the pilot for the television series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979), but was shown in theaters several months before the series aired. The movie made over $21 million in North America alone.
    • Goofs
      When Wilma Deering gets into her fighter on board the Draconia, her helmet is marked 'Col. Deering' on the right side. In the subsequent shots during the fight, it's unmarked. A similar thing happens again close to the movie's ending: When picking up Buck Rogers, Theo and Twiki on the Draconia, there is one shot of her with her helmet being marked 'Col Deering' - this time on the left side - whereas in all other shots the helmet is clean.
    • Quotes

      Twiki: I'm freezing my ball-bearings off!

    • Crazy credits
      Erin Gray and Pamela Hensley appear as "dream girls" alongside their names in the original (theatrical) credits.
    • Alternate versions
      The original 1979 UK theatrical release of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979) was deleted to remove a groin kick to obtain an "A" classification.

    corny but fun
    buck rogers following in the aftermath of failed battlestar galactica was a corny but fun movie,and TV series following.it is a far cry from the classic original with buster Crabbe,who was gearing up for his last flash Gordon serial,you know flash Gordon conquers the universe in 1940.this movie serves as a pilot after a few edits at the end.Gil Gerard plays buck rogers.the special effects were pretty good,before the upcoming computer graphics so popular now.the cast is very good as well beautiful sexy and smart Erin Gray plays col Wilma deering,Tim O'Conner plays Dr.huer,Pamela Hensley as the sexy slinky and villainous princess ardala.with sinister Kane (Henry Silva)at her side.in the series Micheal Ansara assumes the role of Kane.i first saw buck rogers as a feature film at the movies.in like a few weeks later it seems it was on TV as series.about a year after battlestar galactica was canceled.incidentally buck rogers was also produced by Glen Larson.oh yeah there's also the little robot twiki played by Felix Silla.and voiced by the late great Mel Blanc(bugs bunny,Barney rubble,porky pig,etc;etc;)like i said its corny but fun,its not up to Star Wars but its fun to watch.the series lasted for two seasons.the second season was'nt as enjoyable as the first,since it was revamped and they tried to make it like star trek.as a blast from the past buck rogers delivers some good solid camp.I'm giving it 7 out of 10.
