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
Extraordinary
This film bounces between being yet another stupid sixties oddity, to an almost forgotten work of sheer genius.
There are moments where you'll question whether the cast or crew were on some dodgy medication, and others where you'll think "blimey. That's not too bad." Some of the elements are high comedy - for example one character uses a variety of items (melon, whipping cream, french stick) from a shopping basket in a fight scene, but at the same time the film maintains a certain darkness. The monitors come across as perhaps the most polite but menacing characters seen for a long time.
Worth your time.
