just watched this again after watching ALIEN


and noticed a good many things in ALIEN from this film:

SOME of the screens ring similar
some of the communications style sounds were borrowed
a large room computer
people frozen (more of a stretch here but they did it in both)
the Dark Star alien babbling sounds like the Alien Robot guy losing his head
blowing out the airlock
the angled wall ship layout

probably a bunch more

Yes, Dan, absolutely. That's why it interested me. I didn't recall seeing all the things they upgraded to bigger film. Maybe the elevator shift was like the air ducts in Alien? Cool to see the origins.
