Trivia
Because the "moondust" was actually quick-set concrete powder, there was always a sign at the set proclaiming "No Liquids!"

Goofs
The full Earth is visible from the sunlit lunar surface, which is impossible.

Quotes
Col. Jason Grant: A base! It is a god-damned base and we're being invited in.
Ray Tanner: Yeah, but who's throwin' the party?

Crazy credits
Near the end of the closing credits, audio is heard of Jason speaking to a NASA official about any possible debris of the spacecraft possibly falling to Earth.

Alternate versions
The Japanese VHS runs a little bit longer than the North American version, but mostly features extended dialogue between Jason and his son.

Silly and enjoyable cheesy 80s sci-fi!

The good? Effects and props... and Koenig.

The bad? Everything else.

Apart from its value as 80s nostalgia, there's not much to see. The 1950s did this type of stuff much better.

It would have made a good TV movie, though.
