Movie Quote(s):
- Dr. Eric Vornoff: My dear professor Strowsky, twenty years ago, I was banned from my home land, parted from my wife and son, never to see them again. Why? Because I suggested to use the atom elements, for producing super beings, beings of unthinkable strength and size. I was classed as a madman, a charlatan, outlawed in a world of science which previously honored me as a genius. Now here in this forsaken jungle Hell I have proven that I am alright. No, Professor Strowski, it is no laughing matter.
-
Captain Tom Robbins: He tampered in God's domain!
-
Janet Lawton: When did I tell you my name? Dr. Eric Vornoff: You didn't. But since you were unconscious, I took the liberty of looking into your purse.
-
Lt. Dick Craig: This swamp is a monument to death. Snakes, alligators, quicksand... all bent on one thing: destruction.
-
Dr. Eric Vornoff: One is always considered MAD, if one discovers something that others cannot grasp!
Movie Trivia:
- Producer Donald E. McCoy strongly disagreed with the use of nuclear warheads. He only agreed to finance the film if Edward D. Wood Jr. rewrote his original script, and made it end with a nuclear explosion as a warning against the use of nuclear weapons.
-
This was Edward D. Wood Jr.'s only financially successful film upon original release.
-
When Vornoff has Janet Lawton strapped to the table, he tells her she is about to become "The Bride of the Atom". "The Bride of the Atom" was this film's working title.
-
Edward D. Wood Jr. credited Alex Gordon with co-writing the story and screenplay as thanks for giving him the idea. Gordon actually contributed nothing to the script.
-
The prop octopus was stolen from Republic Studios and was constructed for the John Wayne film Wake of the Red Witch (1948). The motor which controlled the octopus' tentacles was not stolen with it, as is obvious to the casual viewer. Additionally, one of the tentacles was torn off in the process of stealing it out of the property room.
