    • Trivia
      The 40-foot alien monster was actually a marionette about 15 inches high. It was essentially a combination of a rat, bat, spider, and crab.
    • Goofs
      Irish claims the creature is single-celled like an amoeba, but it clearly has an eye, which would indicate something more complex.
    • Quotes

      Maj. Gen. George Treegar: The hell with radiation. Let's go.

    • Crazy credits
      The main title, cast and credits do not appear until the end of the film.

    AIP In Space
    One of only two survivors from a Martian expedition is so traumatized she (Naura Hayden) does not remember the circumstances of the trip.

    The film stars Gerald Mohr and is directed by American International Pictures regular Ib Melchior. Melchior was only given 10 days and a budget of $200,000 to make the film. All things considered, he did alright.

    The New York Times wrote, "The Angry Red Planet solemnly warns its audiences not to go to Mars. Stubborn patrons who ignore the advice will discover that the planet looks like a cardboard illustration from Flash Gordon and is inhabited by carnivorous plants, a giant amoeba and a species resembling a three-eyed green ant." Well said.

    Great film? No. Fun film? Yes.
