Lemont

Lieutenant Lemont was a minor hero in the 1988 South African movie Space Mutiny.

She was portrayed by Billy Second.

Born on the generational ship / manufacturing plant Southern Sun, Lemont worked on the ship's bridge. Much of her time was spent compiling reports for Captain Scott Devers and Commander Alex Jansen, and working as the control person for the various Viper fighter vessel flights.

Shortly after Elijah Kalgan and his Enforcers began their mutiny against Commander Jansen, a young engineering officer named Steve Cordell alerted Lemont to irregularities in the ship's inventory. Realizing that this would expose Kalgan's plot before he was ready, Kalgan murdered Cordell, than confronted Lemont outside the ship's disco. When Lemont refused to tell Kalgan why she had been talking with Cordell Kalgan shot and killed her.

Apparently, however, the crew of the Southern Sun was able to bring Lemont back from the dead or she had a twin because Lemont was spotted working on the bridge again a short time later. As the mutiny unfolded she played a minor role in opposing Kalgan, and soon disappeared from the bridge again.

Trivia

 * The Satellite of Love crew noted the reappearance of Lemont after being shot when the movie was screened by MST3K. Mike Nelson remarked that it was very nice of Captain Devers to give that dead woman another chance.
