Trivia
The "Space Center," which looks like a big white mushroom, is not the revolving restaurant at the Houston Airport Marriott at George Bush Intercontinental. While similar in design, the restaurant is far larger. "Space Center" was part of the Collins Radio Antenna Building, 1300 International Parkway, Richardson, Texas, and is now the PCI Health Training Center. The building's two round towers are visible on GoogleEarth.

Goofs
In the computer room, the girl operating the teletype machine is very obviously not touching the keyboard and is just wiggling her fingers over the home keys.

Quotes
Dop: Since the Earthmen, especially the Americans, seem to place their faith in luck rather than scientific certainties, I wish you all luck.

One of the great awful movies

I love this movie because it is just so darn sincere. There is not a moment in the film that suggests its author understands the ridiculousness of his premise. This wants to be a good movie, an intelligent piece of science fiction, and yet, it is called Mars Needs Women. The movie even has some literary pretensions showing.

Everything about this movie is inept, but done with such earnestness that it is reminiscent of when a cute little kid says something totally absurd and laughable with a straightforward demeanor that just makes it all that much funnier. I rank this up (or is that down) with camp classics like Glen or Glenda. I just found it very funny.
