Instead, they end up lost and landing in a small store where monsters (suspiciously shaped like male and female genitalia) constantly battle it out. The bulk of the scenes come from the Soviet sci-fi adventure Nebo Zovyot, which Corman had purchased a few years before. He dropped the cold-war aspects and assigned young Coppola to rewrite, edit and produce the film. The Soviet cast was given "American" names like "Edd Perry" and "Andy Stewart". Sandra Brennan, Rovi

A poor color version of a well recieved (by them) Russian story of a space race to Mars between the North Hemisphere and the South Hemisphere. Roger Corman Bought the rights and gave them to college student FF Coppola to play with. He translated it and added some martians. all in poor color. At times you will wonder why you are even watching it, it is so bad. It was a propaganda film turned school project turned campy mentionable. You wonder where the CCCP got their models of american spacecraft which at the time even we didn't know about but which later took the USA to the moon.
It does have some of the charm of a Buck Rogers serial or a Jules Verne story, I suppose, especially with the gravity influenced rocket flames of the space ships, Hey, I'm trying to be nice here, don't blame the messenger.
