Yes- somewhat akin to the ships in Space Truckers. But please don't take
that as an insult!
For anyone unfamiliar with Space Truckers, it's a bad sci-fi flick starring
Dennis Hopper. The most memorable moment was George Wendt ("Norm" from
Cheers) being sucked bottom-first (not feet-first) into space through a
diner window.
This is one of a number of movies I rented back when I did "Lego nights"
where I'd invite some friends over to watch bad sci-fi flicks while riffling
through a big pile of parts on the living room floor.
