Did you know
- TriviaShot without sound. To avoid having to sync a lot of sound in post-production, the actors turned away from the camera when speaking, and cupped their hands over their mouths when shouting.
- GoofsWhen the police officer on plane opens the window and starts shooting, neither the strap around his gun nor his hair blow in the wind that would be created by a plane moving at such a high speed.
- Alternate versionsSome versions eliminate the bare breasts shot in the beginning of the film.

Featured review
The worst film ever made, easily
I had no idea when I started watching this movie what it was about but I was very well surprised by the extremely low quality of the movie.
It consists of no on screen dialog, a speaker-voice reads an pretensious load of crap as Tor Johnson staggers around as a confused Russian scientist harmed by a nuclear-test. Even if someone for some bizarre reason would WANT to make such an insane movie they would not have been able to come up with something like this.
Only a truly deranged mind could make such a movie. A genius in its own world of badness, competing with brilliant filmmakers like Ed Wood and others but Coleman Francis outnumbers them all!!
