Doomsday Machine (1972)

豆知識

Doomsday Machine, also known as Escape from Planet Earth, is an American science fiction film mostly filmed in 1967 but completed without the original cast or sets in 1972.

Production

Production of Doomsday Machine began in 1967 under Herbert J. Leder's direction under the titles Armageddon 1975 and Doomsday Plus Seven. Production stopped on the film before it was completed (presumably due to funding problems), and the unfinished footage lay in storage for several years. Production resumed in 1972, though without benefit of access to the original cast members, costumes or sets.

Sloppy production standards have made the film a favorite for buffs of bad cinema. The film relies extensively on stock footage, including real (but badly degraded) NASA rocket footage, special effects shots from David L. Hewitt's The Wizard of Mars (1965; Hewitt receives a special effects credit for Doomsday Machine), Gorath (1962) and other disparate sources, leading to numerous continuity errors.
