    • Trivia
      The mutants were played by members of the Los Angeles Lakers.
    • Goofs
      When the characters return to their lab they find they are unable to move any matter. Yet the characters are still able to move and breathe. If they were actually unable to affect any matter, as they clearly establish and go to lengths to explain, the air would not move out of the way when they walked nor would it move in/out of their lungs.

      Danny McKee, the Electrician: Of course, I like you. You're a beautiful girl.

      Reena: Oh, that! Beauty is only skin deep.

      Danny McKee, the Electrician: Well, it's deep enough. What do you want - a lovely liver?

    Yes, it is dated, but the themes are still relevant today!
    The person who commented on this movie needs to remember when it was made. It was 1964, and for that time, I thought it was done pretty well, if you look at the themes the movie was trying to portray. Sure it was full of cheesy effects, but the premise was pretty good. Filmaking had at least progressed from the '50's Cold War hysteria to the 60's trying to understand one another (somewhat). Some people need to stop trying to be witty and hope they get to be the next Roger Ebert, and be be honest about a movie. I have great memories of seeing this movie in the 1960's at a theater, and I have a copy I obtained on the Internet simply because of the fun such sci-fi was and continues to be for fans of the genre. Without such movies, you would not have the Star Wars franchise!!! Think about the history of the genre, and not how clever you are!
