Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Although Warner Bros. distributed this ultra-low-budget sci-fi film, it was definitely not a Warner Bros. production. The studio needed a genre film to play as the second feature with the Godzilla sequel it was releasing under the title Gojira no gyakushû (1955) and bought this from producer Tom Graeff. more
Goofs:
Continuity: During the "ending" car chase, Joe Rogers' (the reporter) hat is different while he is driving the car as opposed to when he is outside the car before the chase and after the chase. The hat before and after the chase has a brim which is UP in the back and DOWN in the front. However, when the scene cuts to the interior of him driving the car, his hat's brim is UP both in the front and the back. more
Quotes:
Joe Rogers: [looking upon Sparky's skeleton] You know, I don't get this guy. Animals or humans. He just seems to like killing.
Mac, a Cop: There's more to it than that, Joe. There's something behind this... something we don't understand. The weapon he uses, it's unheard of. Blasting flesh right off the bones.

Have you seen Sparky?, 18 February 2004
10/10
Author: TheAngryRobot

If you like unintentionally bad movies from the 50's, you will absolutely LOVE Teenagers From Outer Space. First of all, you pretty much know what you're getting with a movie that has "teenagers" and "outer space" in the title...this masterpiece offers some of the worst acting, plot, script and f/x you will ever see, and all rolled into one neat little package. There is enough action and stupidity to keep you interested all the way through. Notice the voiced-over (obviously human) barking of the dog Sparky (RIP) at the beginning, classic. Interesting too is the fact that the actor who played the ship's captain (the guy with, not one, but TWO v's on his astro suit) went on to become the original Ronald MacDonald. I'm lovin' it, and you will too.
