Line 11:
Kalgan sabotages the vessel's guidance system just as an important professor's shuttle is on a landing trajectory, causing it to crash [[Offscreen Crash|(offscreen)]]. The ship's pilot, [[The Hero|Dave Ryder]], is able to escape, but the professor dies in the explosion. This sabotage seals off the flight deck for a number of weeks, allowing Kalgan and the Enforcers to hold the entire population of the Southern Sun hostage. Commander Jansen and Captain Devers enlist Ryder's assistance, aided begrudgingly by Jansen's daughter [[Love Interests|Dr. Lea Jansen]], to regain control of the ship.
 
''[[Space Mutiny]]'' was filmed in [[Useful Notes/South Africa|South Africa]] during [[The Apartheid Era]] (a fact understandably not mentioned on the end credits - see also ''Prisoners of the Lost Universe'', ''Golden Rendezvous'', ''Hellgate'' etc), which some viewers think ties in to all the pseudo-fascistic goings-on (and explains the all-white cast, not that that was exactly unusual in Hollywood action movies of the time).
