I have been searching for a TV in the 80's I think - I think it was a pilot I am not sure but - the movie was about this group of beings - one was in suspended animation and they would bring him out when ever there was a mision and there werw about 5 people and I think they were on a space ship - I am not sure and it is driving me nuts

Name of the show AND movie: 'Lexx'.

I agree with faylanskye, Lexx is correct, but don't forget, the original movies, before the series was made, were not called Lexx. They were called Tales From a Parallel Universe.
