Journey Through The Black Sun
Film Compilations Film 3 (1982) 
- This movie and Cosmic Princess were part of the Super Space Theatre package, edited on videotape in the USA. Picture quality is poor and the episodes are heavily cut.
- Helena's status report from New Adam, New Eve is used in the titles ("It is as though a strange presence is among us, taking control")
- ITC promoted the film with the tag "There is no escape from its deadly pull"
- It was shown on German channel SAT1 on 15 May 1994.
The tag line for this Super Space Theatre Press Kit was "It's Force Can Bend Space And Time. Nothing Can Escape it - And Someone is Drawing Them Closer!"
Above: title cards on the German Arcade Video, and the TV SF1 broadcast.
- The poster is by Jim Laurier (signature "JAL"). Born in 1954, the American artist had only recently graduated (in 1978) and was working for an advertising company when he was commissioned to create posters for several of the Super Space Theatre titles (the others were Invaders from the Deep, Countdown To Disaster, and Captain Scarlet vs The Mysterons). He is now known for his historical aviation paintings.
The title "music" comprises odd electronic scratches and bleeps, with bits of Barry Gray music from Thunderbirds and UFO.
Incidental music is supplemented (badly) by Barry Gray incidental music from UFO (episodes Identified, Reflections In The Water, The Square Triangle), Secret Service (A Question of Miracles, Case For the Bishop) and Joe 90 (Most Special Astronaut, Arctic Adventure).
- The titles consist of crude computer animation of a yellow sun which turns black, then moves near the planet Atheria.
- Helena's status report from New Adam, New Eve is used in the titles ("It is as though a strange presence is among us, taking control")
- Collision Course is cut by 6 minutes, Black Sun is cut by 7 minutes.
- Dialogue from Arra is moved to the moment as the Moon finally leaves the heart of the black sun.
The credits include "Dr Victor Bergman". Bergman's title is "Professor", not "Doctor".
There were two trailers produced with clips from the film. The short trailer narration:
"The fantastic futuristic space station Alpha has a near miss with a phantom planet.
But the ship's good fortune turns to misfortune when it's thrown off course careening directly towards a black sun.
(Landau:) "We'll all be dead in 3 days"
Martin Landau and the Alpha crew are heading for a crash course and discovering the Universe's oldest secret in what may be their final voyage.
