Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film's lunar surface sets and models were so well done some were re-used in other television productions for many years afterwards, appearing in the likes of UFO (1970), Moonbase 3 (1973) and Space: 1999 (1975), as well as the feature films Superman II (1980), Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987) and as recently as Duncan Jones' debut film Moon (2009).
- GoofsAt the end of the opening credits the two astronauts are dumped into the "Capernicus Garbage Dump" Assuming it was named after the famous astronomer and mathematician, the correct spelling would be Copernicus.
- Crazy creditsWith the permission of John Waddington Limited, the game Moonopoly is based upon the property trading game marketed by them under their registered trade name, 'Monopoly'.

It May Not Be A Classic, But It's Fun!
OK, I've read several reviews of this film in books, online and from sci-fi fans and usually the overall feeling of the film is split down the middle. I really enjoy this film, it has a very good cast; James Olson, Catherine Schell (Who would go on to star in the classic sci-fi series; Space: 1999), Adrienne Corri, Warren Mitchell, Michael Ripper (Hammer regular) and Sam Kydd, it had some great looking sets, a very capable director in Roy Ward Baker and the opening tune is one I can't get out of my head for days, after watching the film or listening to that track. Hailed as the first space-western, the film does it's best to combine a futuristic look with the ideals and wild ways of the old west. To sci-fi fans looking for something really serious and up on the technical feel of a straight-from-the-hip science fiction story, chances are you're going to be disappointed with the overall effort of the film, but if you like a film that can be serious at times and still poke fun at itself, then this is a film you're probably going to enjoy.....just don't go into viewing this in a serious mood! Have fun with it and relax.....the anti-gravity fight scene in the saloon is not to be missed!
