I moved your post the General Films Discussions.

I don't know of any scifi films where aliens were portrayed as African tribal people. The original series of Star Trek had an third season episode The Paradise Symdrome when Kirk loses his memory and lives among native North Americans.

Often the cliché of an alien warrior race is based upon native Earth races, the Japanese Samurai being the most obvious influence.

The space shuttle appeared in many films, among them:

Moonraker
Hanger 18
The Astronaut's Wife
Space Cowboys
Lifeforce
Airplane II: The sequel
The Dark Side of the Moon
Space Camp
Moontrap
Spiders

Also the TV series Buck Rogers in the 21st Century and Odyssey 5

And the colonisation of space is a given in any film involving spaceships really.

Use the search function on the IMDb website and searching "plots" and then "space shuttle" or "colonisation of space".
