Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaShot without sound. To avoid having to sync a lot of sound in post-production, the actors turned away from the camera when speaking, and cupped their hands over their mouths when shouting.
- GoofsWhen the police officer on the plane opens the window and starts shooting, neither the strap around his gun nor his hair blow in the wind that would be created by a plane moving at such a high speed.
- Alternate versionsSome versions eliminate the bare-breasts shot in the beginning of the film.

Featured review
The towering presence of "Swedish Angel" Tor Johnson and laughable narration that sounds at times like some kind of oriental poetry fail to make this film more than barely watchable. There is no real dialogue (presumably the producers couldn't afford a travelling microphone) -- all the dialogue is postdubbed with the actors conveniently turning their heads away when the speak! -- or story, and the only effects are a guy parachuting off a helicopter and Johnson in pancake makeup. Still, a somehow amusing low-budget film filled with friends and associates of the late great Ed Wood.
