          • 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.

          I had me some fun revisiting MOONTRAP the other day. Had not seen it since my teen-days. A small but ambitious sci-fi/horror film about a race of robotic aliens hidden on the dark side of the moon, occupying themselves since ages with building a giant mother-ship - that thing was huge! - to invade earth and using human bodies for spare-parts (VIRUS with Jamie Lee Curtis, anyone?). A weird film altogether with a lot of great and some not-so-great special effects, including nifty looking miniatures. Starring none less than Walter Koenig (from the original STAR TREK series) and Bruce Campbell, who's acting his way very inappropriately through this film, like if he was convinced he was doing another EVIL DEAD film. Can't really call this a great film, with its pacing problems and illogical goings-on, but it was a blast seeing it again.
