Trivia:

In the scene where the bikers are chasing the main characters after pouring beer on their bikes, everything appears very blue. Though this can be achieved with light filters and gels, this particular scene was shot outdoors with indoor film (continuing from the last scene in a store), which is not color-balanced for sunlight, causing everything to look blue.

Goofs:

Continuity: In the diner while Michele and Critter are talking, Buzz is nowhere to be seen, and yet, a second later, he appears next to them. This was an error introduced in the conversion to home video. The DVD version clearly shows Buzz getting up and returning with a beer, instead of teleporting into frame.

Quotes:

[referring to Joan]
Critter: There's a trashy book written on very line of her face.

For You

Thank God For MST3K

If it weren't for that brilliant show, no one would have ever seen this movie after the 60's...not that that's a bad thing.

This movie is a big, steaming pile of continuity errors and bad acting. There was a vague plot buried beneath all of this, however it was as thin as paper and made transparent by the grease dripping off of the actors.

There are countless errors and inexplicable scenes in throughout this movie. Who could forget Buz magically teleporting into the booth at the diner? Who could forget the utterly mind-boggling dune buggy scene? It seems as though this movie was made for MST3K, and, I warn you all, should not be viewed under any circumstances without the hilarious one-liners of Mike and the robots.
