Reception
From contemporary reviews, "Lor." of Variety reviewed the AIP video cassette on November 18, 1989.Шаблон:Sfn "Lor." declared the film to be a "tongue-in cheek sci-fi thriller geared towards home video fans with a soft spot for the old stars and old-fashioned serials."Шаблон:Sfn "Lor." noted the film "suffers from a weak script" that gave Jan-Michael Vincent and John Phillip Law little to do while P.J. Soles is "stuck in a rather goofy costume as an outer space technician".Шаблон:Sfn
