Trivia
During a screening, Roger Corman actually smacked an audience member on the head for laughing at the film. When Roger left the theater, the guy he punched poured soda all over his head from the balcony.

Goofs
In the first lab scene on planet Xarbia, when Mike Colby says "That thing is trouble, I can smell it", we can see a yellow microphone appearing from the inferior-left that appears again on the next scene from the same plane.

Quotes
Tracy Baxter: You know what? It looks like you could really use the steam bath!
Mike Colby: Well, I had a hard night.
Tracy Baxter: So fair's fair. Get naked.

Crazy credits
The concluding credits roll over the vomit covered corpse of the monster.

Alternate versions
The German version (labelled "Mutant - das Grauen im All") recycles the space battle of the first five minutes, with a new language track. Tracy's absence is explained away by simply not waking her from cryo-sleep; SAM's return upon destruction at the end of the original film is not explained at all.

4/10

The movie starts like a cheaper 'Galaxian', a space shoot 'em up video game n then goes all out blatant Alien rip off but in a very cheesy way.

I first saw this in the late 80s on a vhs.

Revisited it recently on a fast forward mode.

The movie has a lousy sex scene mixed with a lousy 'cannot make out wots going on' kill scene.

Dawn Dunlap's nudity is the only saving grace. She looks more like a younger Denise Richards.

The fight towards the end with the alien looks as if the guy is fighting a bull or something but that too is ruined with shaky cam n reddish flickering lights.

Were the end flashback scenes required?
