Google and Wikipedia failing me.

Memory from childhood: Sci fi movie, possibly TV movie or series pilot, live-action, 60s - 80s. Space ship crashes on an airless planet or moon. Another ship comes to their rescue. Survivors are afraid rescuer may be Soviet. Rescuer removes helmet, survivors relieved/surprised that the rescuer is Japanese.

Plot may include relativity time-shenanigans or a loop?

I thought the scenes were from The Green Slime, but nope, weren't in the movie when I rewatched it.

With that kind of stinger I would say it was an episode of The Outer Limits or The Twilight Zone.

I would agree, but it was in color, seemed to have a budget, and we didn't have cable.

That looks amazing.

A stupid one: Anyone recall a 70'sish spaceship movie where the ships computer travels around the ceiling on rails? Probably not Dark Star. Possibly English, definitely boring.

Moon - Gerty does this

I forgot Gerty in Moon! But it wasn't Moon. Moon was good.

Google actually spit out the answer, guess it isn't completely dead after all.
Turns out I was remembering Lifepod (1981). Here's the scootin' ceiling computer:

That reminds me, I saw a clip from a lovely old action movie recently and the killer assassin robot was a 1980s Tomy Omnibot 2000 with a headset and a fake nose



Shoulda gone with sunglasses instead.
