Storyline

An astronaut comes back to Earth and crashes in a field, incredibly irradiated and wreaking havoc. Just as they have him cornered, he disappears, and the "real" astronaut is found 7,500 miles away in the Pacific Ocean, "alive, well, and of normal size."

Goofs

At the beginning, the Captain's lapels have infantry insignia (crossed rifles). Later, they change to Artillery (crossed canons). His left arm patch has the Nike Hercules system (nuclear defense), so his insignia should stay Artillery. See more »

Monster? What monster?
4 December 2000 | by (Akron, Ohio.) – See all my reviews

Maybe the title was describing the guy who made this. This was the film Bill Rebane unleashed on the public 10 years before "The Giant Spider Invasion". Obviously he didn't get any better in those 10 years. This film contains the stupidest, most unsatisfying ending in the history of cinema, ever. Even "Pod People" had an ending. It was a terrible ending, but an ending anyways. One good thing I can say about this, it's the perfect film for insomniacs, or for those who want to make themselves throw up. Of course, the best thing that ever happened to this film was the superb riffing by the crew of the SOL. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT watch this film unless it's the MST3K version.
