Remember "Battle Beyond the Stars"?

Vaguely, it had that Japan actor in it. The guy who played the heavy in some mortal combat movie and also appeared in Snips/Conery movie rising sun.

Right????

As far as I know, which I'm afraid isn't much. I'll look it up. I just mentioned it because I remember it seemed at the time rather like the Buck Rogers film (cheap/corny late-70's sci fi vaguely copying Star Wars with 1% of the quality - bad guys come to destroy good guys, and get saved by some sassy heroes, with androids, lasers, incompetent villains, and space fighter dogfights involved) except there was no TV Version of BBTS.

Ok, looking it up - yes, you are correct, assuming I know which "Japan actor" and which "heavy in some mortal combat movie" you meant. That is, John Saxon, whom I mainly associate with the actually good film Enter the Dragon. Oh wait... guess I'm wrong... Saxon doesn't seem to have been in Mortal Kombat (fortunately for him). So, I don't know whom you mean.

Although I only really remembered Robert Vaughn, and the theme music (heh) and sort of the dogfights.

Apparently George Peppard and Julia Duffy were also in it, although I have almost no strands of memory of them in it. I'll have to re-watch it sometime when I feel like groaning.
