Trivia:
Costumes worn by the ship's officers and Motiya are re-used or copied from Forbidden Planet (1956). more
Goofs:
Factual errors: When the rocket is stationary at the beginning of the film on the launch-platform, the interior of the rocket is parallel to the ground. Later when the rocket is speeding throughout space, the cabin must have been turned 90 degrees because people inside the vehicle can walk around normally on the floor. more

Lt. Larry Turner: Why don't you girls knock off all this Gestapo stuff and try to be a little friendly. more

FAQ

Did Ben Hecht really write this?
Why don't you just admit that this farrago is rife with paradigmatic tropes that objectify the 'femme' and stereotypically reinforce the patriarchy in a poisonously hateful and demeaning way?
So if it's the future, how come the earthmen don't have ray guns like the Venusians?
