    • Trivia
      Among the last-minute cost-cutting measures inflicted upon this film was the elimination of all scenes taking place on the moon.
    • Goofs
      Despite dire warnings of death should occupants of the projectile NOT be in the "acceleration tubes" upon launch, no explanation is offered as to why Virginia isn't turned to goo by stowing away in another room.
    • Quotes

      Morgana: You know, whenever I see you, I get the feeling that Barbicane is up to no good.

    • Crazy credits
      Opening credits are on the pages of a book, with the leads' photos included above the name.

    Cheesy yes but creative and storytelling in the early age of color...
    Certainly the effects of this film are no where near what we are used to today, but the inventiveness to even attempt to portray Vernes' rich imagination are secondary to the effort to bring such imagination from the page to the visual arts. There are inventive approaches to pre-real space travel, and the scientific accuracy (or real lack thereof) are secondary to the underlying Drama and dilemma presented about technological advances and the impact they have by affecting Man's commission of War upon his fellow man. So when watching this movie enjoy the players and do not cast aside because of reality fallacies and liberties taken in order to bring a book to visual life.
