Trivia
According to director Allan Dwan, producer Benedict Bogeaus tricked him, the actors and crew members into working for low pay by claiming the project was actually a two-part pilot for a TV series. Bogeaus was caught by the heads of the Mexican movie unions, who read the script, realized it was for a feature film, and demanded that everyone employed on it be paid the higher feature-film rates. As a result, Dwan had to shoot the film in one week instead of five, and use only already existing sets.

Goofs
Before the explosion, the character Eddie Candell was wearing a jacket. Immediately after the explosion, he is not wearing a jacket.

Good sci-fi/gangster film

After first reading about this movie when i was a kid,I finally caught it on TNT late one night.I thought it was pretty good ,even though hampered a little by a low budget.Ron Randell was his usual reliable self,and the rest of the cast was very good,especially Debra Paget as the snaky ex-girlfriend and Elaine Stewart(wooo!)as Randell's lover.Watch it if you get the chance.
