Reviews
“Gorilla in diving helmet wipes out entire earth population save one family and Nader, then spends most of the film’s running time lumbering around Bronson Canyon trying to find them. One of the genuine legends of Hollywood: embarrassingly, hilariously awful…and dig that bubble machine with the TV antenna! Originally in 3-D (except for the dinosaur stock footage from One Million B.C. and Lost Continent.”
