      Edit
      • Trivia
        The third film in the Gamma One quadrilogy was titled Il pianeta errante (The Errant Planet) in its original Italian. The english dubbed release in America was retitled War Between the Planets (WBP). Director Magheriti's economizing continued. Sets, costumes and props were reused from the first two movies, but the cast was different.
      • Goofs
        At one point Lt. Sanchez is walking out of the control room and gives a technician some orders. He replies, "Yes, sir, lieutenant". Since Lt. Sanchez is female, the correct way to address her would have been "Yes, ma'am, lieutenant".
      • Quotes

        Lt. Terry Sanchez: Rod, what's happening on Earth?

      The color is OK.
      Remember that sci-fi skit you and your buddies made up and performed in front of your third grade class? Someone made it into a movie. Minus the good parts. This is one of those films you keep watching because you expect it to get better. It never does. If you go out for refreshment you may not want to come back.
