scene with two of the actors (Mala Powers and Bobby Van) were obviously done
with stand-ins because the voice was different and they kept their space
suits and helmets on. It looked as though it was abandoned midway through
filming, someone picked up the pieces 5 years later and tried to finish it
without a story or any of the actors. (Kind of like "They Saved Hitler's
Brain".)

I wish they had released "The Wasp Woman" instead

Yeah, Capital-Stink'um of a movie.

And that ending.. Or lack thereof. Awful.

Actually, I think those clips might have been from another film.
