Trivia
The film's producer, Herman Cohen, first considered using "ape" actor Steve Calvert, who had previously worked with Cohen on the films Bride of the Gorilla (1951) and Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla (1952), but Calvert had long since retired from performing in his gorilla suit. Cohen turned to another renowned "ape" actor, George Barrows, but he only hired Barrows' gorilla suit, not Barrows himself. The actor Paul Stockman was instead chosen, based primarily on his being a good fit for Barrows' suit. Barrows was understandably annoyed when his gorilla suit was returned to him from England in horrible shape.

Goofs
There is no explanation given at all as to what actually happened to Sandra Banks (Claire Gordon) toward the end of the film. She is last seen being distressed after accidentally getting her lower arm trapped in one of the huge mutated Venus fly traps, but then she disappears from the film completely after that! Surely it is ridiculous to suggest that she was eaten alive and whole in this manner. All she would have suffered at best was a small wound on her lower arm, and this resolution should have been seen and shown as such.

Quotes
Margaret: [to Dr. Decker over breakfast] What are you having with your poached egg? Murder?

they dont make em like this any more..or do they?

Utterly ludicrous movie in all departments,but if you like Edward D wood Jnr then you will enjoy this.One of the funniest lines delivered is when guy in charge of the police rings up the police radio room and says (with a straight face)"there's a huge monster gorilla loose in the streets get my car and all available cars ready"
