Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe shot of the topless redhead in the cemetery that briefly appears in the montage after Barbara asks Harry what he is thinking about (when they are getting into the plane) is from Ed Wood's softcore 'horror' film 'Orgy of the Dead' (1965).
- GoofsThere is a red hand-held fire extinguisher visible in Harry's car on the passenger floorboard at around 8:40 into the movie when he's driving through the city.
Harry's car is a collector classic, and as an enthusiast, it would not be the least bit out of the ordinary for him to carry a fire extinguisher on board.
- Quotes
Monitor: [voiceover reciting the Monitor mantra] The Monitors are your friends. Depend on the Monitors. Work for peace. Violence solves nothing. The Monitors bring peace. Peace brings happiness.
- ConnectionsEdited from A Trip to the Moon (1902)
Featured review
Oddball flick
This used to turn up at 3AM on those stations you had to stick a coat hanger in the back of your TV to get semi-clearly, but I haven't seen it crop up in twenty years now. Aliens conquer the Earth, but the twist is that they bring peace and prosperity and the population rebels against it. Based on a book by Keith Laumer one of the movies more memorable moments are the recurring commercials promoting the Monitors that begin with a chorus singing "the moooo-nitors mmmm-mmmmmm....." Worth a look if you ever stumble across it.
