Trivia:

Goofs:
Plot holes: Mera's sleeping chamber is accessible only by the door with a palm-lock, to keep out the hostile robots. But the robots routinely make new bodies, grafting human parts onto metal bodies, and their ship has dozens of body parts in storage. They would have been able to use a severed hand to access Mera's chamber at any time. more

.. in it has got to be a real good time. And it IS! I've read everybodys comments, I think there was only one that got it right. Moontrap is CHEAP SCI-FI! Just sit there, slack jawed, and enjoy it, DUH! Who cares if it's supposed to be taken seriously or not? I took it as serious FUN!
