Is this movie a rip-off of the episode of Galactica:1980 where Starbuck is marooned and he befriends a Cylon? Or are both a rip-off of some earlier common source?
shareIt is a short story by Barry Longyear and was published in 1980 if I recall correctly.
But I do know that the Starbuck episode was the last episode of the real battlestar galactiga. Galactiga 1980 was a different show with lower budget, worse cast and worse screenwriting.
Enemies forced to coexist is a very old theme.
I Dare you to make less sense!
"But I do know that the Starbuck episode was the last episode of the real battlestar galactiga"

The episode in question, "The Return of Starbuck", was the last episode of Galactica 1980, NOT the last episode of the original Battlestar Galactica.
Now if that bastard so much as twitches, I'm gonna blow him right to Mars.
Who would want to rip-off that piece of garbage. Galactica 1980 was a waste of film. Besides, I do not remember(I hate to admit I remember at all)the Cyclon giving birth.
shareOh boy, get your facts right! The BSG80 episode you're talking about was admitedly inspired by (ie: ripped-off from) the short story from which this film was adapted, and not the other way around!
Remember the King!
"Besides, I do not remember(I hate to admit I remember at all)the Cyclon giving birth."
Nope, Angella gives birth. She was the pregnant human female that the Cylon brought back for Starbuck. It's pretty much the same thing.
Ooo, baby, your domestic gross is SO BIG. That's how I know how GOOD you are!
That episode wasn't from Galactica 1980. And it was the best BG episode ever.

..................The movie was inspired by another film; "Hell in the Pacific" (1968) about a downed US Navy pilot who has coexist with a lone Japanese soldier on an island during World War Two. That doesn't mean "Galactica 1980" didn't appropriate the same idea from the same movie.
True genius is a beautiful thing, but ignorance is ugly to the bone.

Yes it was. It was the last episode (and only good one) of Galactica 1980. It was titled "The Return of Starbuck".
