| Trivia | This film, The War of the Planets (1966), War Between the Planets (1966) and Snow Devils (1967) (the "Gamma One Quadrilogy") were all shot at the same time in order to save money. See more » |
| Goofs | At the end of a car chase, which is shot in broad daylight, the film cuts to a miniature of the car going off a model railroad-size road and steep embankment (with accompanying unnecessary sparking effects)and crashing at the bottom. The effect is shot taking place at night, despite the fact the preceding chase had just been on a sunlit day. When the scene cuts back from the model to a live scene of the actors investigating the wreck, it is also filmed as a night shot in order to match the previous miniature scene. See more » |
