Trivia

In an interview with Kevin Smith, Stan Lee said that, unbeknownst to its cast and crew, this movie was never intended to be released. It was made only because the studio that owned the rights to make a "Fantastic Four" movie would have lost those rights if it didn't begin production by a certain date.

Good old Roger Corman

I saw this not so long ago on a dogy bootleg copy. Terrible special effects and dreadful acting.All in all, yet another corman classic. Worth watching for the scene where reed richards waves from his wedding limo at the end-what a long arm he has! Woderfully silly.
