    • Trivia
      A number of the film's screenwriters were writers from Marvel Comics.
    • Goofs
      The car-lot goof is often mentioned as "only visible in a work-print which was never released", but is VERY visible in many European VHS versions. When the spaceship lands, you can clearly see a street with cars in one of the corners.
    • Quotes

      Chalmers: Okay, what did you do to this?

      Wolff: Emergency repair procedure number one.

      Chalmers: You kicked it?

    • Alternate versions
      When originally released theatrically in the UK, the BBFC made cuts to secure a 'PG' rating. All cuts were waived in 1986 when the film was granted a '15' certificate for home video.

    meant to be together forever
    i'm a big fan of portions of this film - primarily the Peter Strauss/Molly Ringwald portions - despite their 21 year age difference - their incessant battling brought out the duo's chemistry just as if this were a romantic comedy - and Molly's valley-girl-in-space remains one of my favorite scifi characters ever.

    with their charisma - and a talented supporting cast including Ernie Hudson, Andrea Marcovicci, and Michael Ironside - along with some imaginative set design - and great dialog for Molly - this is more than a gimmicky scifi yarn - too bad the rest of the movie isn't up to that standard.
