Like ''Film/PodPeople,'' this film featured an opening credit sequence that took scenes from a different movie. O'Keeffe was allegedly amused by the show's take on the film and called Best Brains ([[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]]'s production company) to personally request a copy of the episode. It is one of the most popular episodes of the series. The [=MST3K=] version of the movie is available in both VHS and DVD formats. This movie is often cited as the movie you want to introduce somebody to the concept of [=MST3K=] and riffing on movies in general.
