Goofs:
Factual errors: When the rocket is stationary at the beginning of the film on the launch-platform, the interior of the rocket is parallel to the ground. Later when the rocket is speeding throughout space, the cabin must have been turned 90 degrees because people inside the vehicle can walk around normally on the floor. more

My favorite movie of all time, 16 April 2000
10/10
Author: toto-24 from Portland, Oregon

This truly is my favorite for sheer enjoyment. This was featured on a low-budget TV station (WOR) back in NYC in the early 1960's. It could be shown up to 20 times a week and we watched it EVERY time. It has everything: the 1958 view of life in 1984, space catastrophe, sex (well, sort of), Zsa Zsa, a man-hating queen with a shocking secret, babes in short togas, and the funniest plot ever. It's colorful, hysterical and they even throw in an animated monster for a mercifully short period of time.

Any line of Zsa Zsa's (the chief scientist of Venus) is quotable. The best moment in the show happens when she tries to impersonate the Wicked Queen and they briefly fall for it, accent and all!

Don't miss it!
