- GoofsThe string which lowers the pod can be seen as it comes out of the Jupiter 2 and during the landing on the planet.
- Quotes
Megazor: The rules of the hunt shall be strictly enforced. The time limit will be exactly 60 Earth minutes. The hunted will be given a choice of weapons... and a five-minute head start. It is to be solely a contest of skill and cunning. Any deviation of these killing procedures by either the hunted or the hunter... will result in severe disciplinary penalty. Any questions?
Prof. John Robinson: Yes. I, uh - I know what happens if you win. What happens if I win?
Megazor: Pursuant to regulations covered by such an impossible contingency, you and your fellow Earthlings will be released.
Prof. John Robinson: What assurance have have I of that?
Megazor: The computer will serve as an impartial judge.
The Robot: Objection! Then I shall go along to be impartial judge of the computer.
Megazor: Objection denied! Choose your weapon.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Pioneers of Television: Science Fiction (2011)
Just about every 1960s adventure series did the "manhunt" storyline seen here: even Get Smart did it once. Irwin Allen's Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea did an outstanding B&W take on the theme called: The Enemies. Voyage got David Hedison/Malachi Throne hunting down Richard Basehart on an island.
Vincent Beck, who plays the alien trouble maker in Hunter's Moon, also played an alien - in voice only - in the final 1967 episode of Irwin Allen's The Time Tunnel. Hunter's Moon is beginning to sound a bit un-original but the hour is actually a knockout.
Guy Williams (John Robinson) really gets a chance to shine here, act four has some outdoor filming for once, and we get a classic Jupiter 2 crash landing done with John Williams music going on all thrusters!
With the exception of a silly scene in act two, Hunter's Moon is played straight.
This is just good solid adventure...the way I like Lost In Space to be. As for actor Vincent Beck, this is without question his best hour on the screen.
