Azonia and Grel's heads explode as a desperate Sammy Porter rushes in to the Command Bubble.
Sammy: "Don't worry you just have to shoot them in the head."
Sammy Quickly activates the locking mechanism.
Sammy: "I had to shoot Kim and Vanessa on the way in."
With that, she quickly shoots the door panel.

Pan out to a shot of the bridge outside the Command Bubble. The surviving Zentraedi crew locked in hand-to-hand combat with the zombie hoards don't notice Khyron desperately banging on the Bubble window.

She then kicks down the shambling headless body, then reaches into her handbag and pulls out what looks like a can of mace, but which has 'ZOMBEX' printed on it. She then sprays both the body and the head, its jaw still working, whereupon both parts begin to rapidly decompose. Just for safety's sake, she gives both Azonia's and Grel's bodies a quick spritz.

Thank you. I'll refer all complaints from the Teutonic Anti-Defamation League to your number.

Truth be told I've wanted to do that to Ben since back when I first saw the series.

Or the sharp end of the chainsaw...
But if Claudia's sporting a chainsaw hand, who gets the machine gun leg? Sammy's intact, Vanessa, Kom, and Minmei got splattered for being zombies, and Gloval sould look ridiculous...
Guess that leaves Miriya...
Gloval, on the other hand, knows how to deal with AQUATIC zombies, haunted ships, and monsters from the abyss....some of his early naval tour and submarine mission logs were sealed for good reason....

*It's a co-ed ship(no one woman filling all the 'soft roles'). Yuki's actually a fairly kick-ass character, more shades of Kara Thrace than eye-candy.
*Doctor Sado is a woman and not a very ugly man(the engineer actually looks like what I'd expect male Sado to look like)
*No blue human aliens; the Gamilons are actually fairly mysterious until the latter half of the movie.
*'Analyzer' actually remains mostly off-camera until the latter parts of the movie
*It's actually fairly gritty and grim in parts.
Minuses:
-The old gung-ho Japanese militarism of the original series doesn't quite translate well...every time the cast goes into a salute posture, it looks like a seizure...
-Scenes like the First Warp that should have gotten more attention; instead, it's fairly glossed over/rushed through.
-Scene chewing; especially Saitō, Space Commandos leader, chews the scenery like he expects an American in the same role would.
-It's a kamikaze movie;Spoiler:
Overall, worth watching again for the cheesy ironmongery special effects.
