Yeah, Ken Begg references this in his review of it on Jabootu:
OK, can someone tell us what’s going on here? It seems likely (given
the film’s title, anyway) that the Chinese possess some sort of
Doomsday Device, i.e. one that can destroy the Earth. Now, this idea
was perhaps more deeply explored in Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove.
There, the titular character, played by Peter Sellers, points out that
the political advantages of having such a device are somewhat negated
if NO ONE KNOWS YOU HAVE IT!

I shouldn't be surprised. I was looking out for a familiar face or
two.
I think Frank described "Doomsday Machine" best....

A man with his own production company lives in his own world, and is FAR
beyond the earthly spherical influence of any mere audience. -_-

in his movies, if not for no other reason than he thought he could?)

How did it compare to "The Oozing Skull"? You probably saw them in
different venues, but accounting for that, how are they doing? Would
you recommend the TDM DVD? Thanks!

I wonder if the makers of TDM planned on a sequel ("TWICE THE
DOOM!") ;-)
