This is the German sci-fi TV serial Lexx which ran for five seasons from 1997 to 2002.
During the pilot episode the obese woman, Zev/Xev Bellringer, was a prisoner made thin and conventionally attractive to serve as a sex slave/robot, but the process was interrupted, and she retained her own sense of self. This character was played by at least three actors ...

This sounds very similar to THX 1138. One of George Lucas' early films from 1971.
Robert Duvall plays THX 1138, one of many humans with alphanumeric names living in underground cities run by automated systems and policed by droid officers to "keep the peace" after the surface of Earth has become uninhabitable.
In the end of the film, he steals a police ...

The movie is called "The Langoliers" (1995)
Let's just say that the effects didn't age well.
It is miniseries, often shown as a single movie.
During a red eye flight of a Lockheed L-1011 from Los Angeles
International Airport to Boston Logan International Airport, the plane
flies through a strange light, and most of the passengers and flight
crew ...

Dark Breed (1996).
From IMDb:
Captain Saxon, and agent for the top secret Omega agency, has been given the assignment of tracking down and either capturing or killing the crew members of a secret space mission who returned to Earth against orders. It seems that they were all infected with an alien parasite, and they were trying to bring its eggs back to ...

Possibly season 6 episode 14 of The Outer Limits title "Abaddon".
Black captain, female crew, prisoner, murders and The Outer Limits is usually somewhat mind screwy, your mileage may vary on amoral though.

This sounds like Solaris to me, (novel Wikipedia link, film Wikipedia link).
Clinical psychologist Dr. Chris Kelvin is approached by emissaries for DBA, a corporation operating a space station orbiting the planet Solaris, who relay a message sent from his scientist friend Dr. Gibarian. Gibarian requests that Kelvin come to the station to help understand ...

There's a chance this could be The Immortalizer (1989). According to IMDb there does appear to be a Hungarian translation/version known as Halhatalan.
A crazed scientist sends out his mutant creations to kidnap young, beautiful men and women to bring back to his lab so he can replace their brains with those of old, wealthy people.
Whilst it doesn't have ...

As per the OP's comment the film they are looking for is Spacehunter: Adventures in the Foridden Zone.
This American film was released in 1983 and so fits the timeframe.
From the IMDB summary:
Three women make an emergency landing on a planet plagued with a fatal disease, but are captured by dictator Overdog. Adventurer Wolff goes there to rescue them ...

Found it! Phantoms (1998)
Dr. Jennifer Pailey brings her sister Lisa to the resort town of Snowfield, Colorado, a small ski resort village nestled in the Rocky Mountains where Jenny works as a doctor.

Kirikou and the Sorceress (1998)
The plot on Wikipedia seems to match pretty well with your memory, emphasis mine:
In a little West African village, a boy named Kirikou is born in a unusual way. Since he can speak and walk immediately after being born, it's also pretty obvious that he's not a normal baby. After Kirikou's mother tells him that an evil ...

You're describing a segment of the anthology horror film V/H/S from 2012 called The Sick Thing That Happened to Emily When She Was Younger. From Wiki:
This segment is shown through computer video chats. Emily talks to her boyfriend James, a trainee doctor, about a strange bump on her arm and how it reminds her of an accident she had when she was younger. ...

There's an episode of The Outer Limits, "Tempests", that deals with a crashed crew survivor and two realities. That's what vix is talking about!

A Fine Pair (1968)
A detective gets involved with the beautiful daughter of an old friend. The daughter turns out to be a jewel thief, who in turn gets the detective involved in a caper in Austria.
The following review on IMDb by ksf-2 matches part of what you remember:
There is one titillating scene as Harmon must spray Esmerelda down with champagne, ...

A young boy must restore order when a group of bullies steal the magical book that acts as a portal between Earth and the imaginary world of Fantasia.

Probably The Sender (1998).
From this (jaded) review:
The hero's daughter carries a "genetic deviation" (or at least I think that's what I heard) that allows her to merely teleport objects (like in all those Star Trek episodes) from one place or another. One day she'll be able to transport spaceships across entire galaxies this way.
So a shadowy ...

This sounds vaguely like Madagascar -- a ship full of zoo animals runs aground and the animals escape into the (grossly unfamiliar) wilds of Madagascar. Key line was "Nature! Get it off, get it off!"
The movie follows their antics as they try to survive. A very popular spinoff was the animated series "Penguins of Madagascar", based around a zoo habitat ...

I think I've discovered the culprit: Ninja Wars. It is not Hong Kong and not from the 70s, so I was going the wrong way there. Luckily, the full thing is on YouTube so I was able to confirm that about 15 minutes in, an assassin wearing a big lampshade hat spits yellow acidic bile at a guy in a tree. It checks all my boxes, and though I don't have a rush of ...

Is it possibly Swordsman II, starring Jet Li? It has:
large brimmed hats
flying around in trees battles
a battle adjacent to a field
There may also be some acidic spittle in amongst all of the other crazy techniques (ESSENCE ABSORBING STANCE!)

It was stated at the start of the film (as part of the general worldbuilding in the first act) that communications with both Earth and Mars would be suspended for the duration of the voyage.
"All communications systems will be down until we've reached our destination".
No specific reason is given for this, but it would appear that it has something to ...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carriers_(film) 2006 or 2009.
The plot is some what similar as they go to the beach and want to start a new life. There are several places they visit, so it might be one of the scenes you mention.
I saw the movie some years ago, one of the few with zombies and traveling to the beach.

I only managed to get through the first couple of episodes, but this sounds like the Netflix/Amazon Prime series Extant staring Halle Berry.
Molly Woods, an astronaut with ISEA (International Space Exploration Agency) is assigned a 13-month solo mission aboard space station Seraphim. She returns home to her husband John, a robotics engineer who created ...

This one should be (in theory) quite easy to work out. We know from the final panel that the Aniara traveled for 5,981,407 years before reaching its destination. We also know that its destination was the Constellation Lyra. Unfortunately, this is where the calculations break down a bit since Lyra isn't a place, but rather a cluster of stars that happen to be ...

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I too was looking for this same info. I didn't find it at the time when I first read this post but today, I believe, I've found what we are looking for. It's the last two episodes of the first season of Creeped Out on Netflix. The episodes are called Side Show: Part 1 and Part 2. Does the main character looking to get ...

To expand on @Nerrolken's first point, note that Picard explicitly asks for the date they went to, not the distance they were sent back in time. This suggests that his concern isn't getting back, or judging the capacity of Borg time travel - he's worried that there's something specific they've been sent back to. In that case, he needs a date that he can ...
