THIS SPECIAL SCIENCE FICTION EVENT PRESENTED BY STUART J. BYRNE AND FUTURES PAST EDITIONS - DON'T OVER LOOK THE NO STRINGS ATTACHED FREE EBOOK OFFER AT THE END OF THIS POST!
Considered one of, and by many people, the worst science fiction movie ever made. Mention of it made the late author, golden age pulp science fiction magazine writer Stuart J. Byrne, foam at the mouth.
One reviewer at Archive.org put it this way:
"I'd like to know the behind the scenes story to this movie.
CLEARLY this movie was a patch up job and it isn't a good one. The opening looks like it was made during the height of the (impossible to look good) 1970's to mid to later 1960's (I think '67) with everyone looking like they were from that period. The ending is right out of Bill Rebane's Monster A GoGo (another patchup job of a movie) with a voice over basically telling the ending. The original actors had to be long gone by the time they got around to filming an ending (1972?) so they had people in space suits with voiceover communication trying (in vain) to sound like the original cast members.
Hearing how the production died and why in Gods name someone tried to save the original footage from complete film obscurity is something I'd like to know. I guess having Bobby Van, Grant Williams, and Ruta Lee was too much star power to leave in an unfinished film.
Incidentally, the man responsible for reviving this movie also was guilty of making movies like Smokey ad the Judge and Enter ANOTHER Dragon. You can guess where he was springing these movies off of."
