Yeah, I remember Battle Beyond The Stars. It was ok, but not the best movie ever made. It took me awhile to realize what it was: The Magnificient Seven in space. Heck it even had Robert Vaughn in it.

That's ok. The Magnificent Seven was just The Seven Samurai in the Old West. 
There is an old saying something like all fiction can be reduced down to 10 (not sure the actual number here) Greek plays. Stuff is always reused, even when we don't realize it.
Did you ever notice that Pixar's a Bug's Life was another Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven remake.
