Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe helicopter crash in the early scenes was unintentional. The tail rotor blades accidentally hit the ground, causing the helicopter to spin out of control. Debris and the top rotor blades narrowly missed the police officers in the scene and the crew off camera. The pilot received minor injuries. After being pulled from the wreck, Jack Riley and George Wilson quickly ad-libbed the rest of the scene as the wreck was set on fire. The crash of the $60,000 rented helicopter used up more of the budget than all other aspects of the film combined.
- GoofsThe amount of squashed tomato on the police car's windshield changes.
- Quotes
Dr. Nokitofa: Technically sir, tomatoes are fags.
Dr. Morrison: He means fruits.
- Crazy creditsThe crowd at the Stadium is credited as Every Screwball in San Diego county

An Honest review
I will be the first to admit I absolutely ADORE this film. I absolutely love the sendup of horror films that seemed to exist up to that time. However, it really is a bad film.
I gave it a 5. Why, I think it is honestly a movie you will either love or hate. It is hard to be ambivalent about this film. The effects are cheesy, the dialogue silly, and the concept even sillier. Yet, I don't think it could of been pulled off any better. I think everyone should check this film out at least once, but do it with friends.
"Could someone please pass the ketchup?"
