The English dub included references to "Star Fleet", "Star Fleet Command", "Warp Speed", and "Impulse Drive"as used in the Star Trek television series.

Goofs
In the exterior space scenes, the 'stars' clearly move and even swing back and forth, revealing them to be small lights hanging in the background.

Quotes
Prof. Solmi: I think only what I said. Nothing more.

Connections
Edited from Tuomiopäivä (1976)

Almost unbelievably bad (but hilarious) ultra low budget SF

This movie was re-released to cash in on the original Star Wars mania. Filmed on a budget of maybe, 15,000 Lira, it is a tour-de-force of nearly every 50's SF cliche' from the greying Scientist father to his luscious, oh-so innocent raven haired daughter in her fishnet bodysuit (with strategically placed bits of fluff) being menaced by Ape creatures to Bruno the Martian "floating" across an expanse of space with the aid of a trampoline (no, I'm not kidding). SEE the mysterious ancient city model filmed resting on a chair! See the twinkling stars! (and try not to notice the wires, swaying in an apparent breeze from an off camera fan). If you love bad films, by all means check it out-it's a scream. I saw this as the bottom half of a double bill with "Spawn of the Slithis" and couldn't stop laughing....
