** Producer/director Barry Mahon would become '''more''' infamous among ''[=MST3K=]''/Podcast/{{RiffTrax}} fans as the one behind such horrors as ''Film/SantaAndTheIceCreamBunny''.

A pox upon whichever troper first decided to try cramming two tropes into a singlle bullet.

** Jane Ross plays the truck driver's (Art Metrano) wife. She is better known as Tamoon from the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "The Gamesters of Triskelion", and was mistaken for Creator/BeaArthur so much that television history books claimed "Jane Ross" was a pseudonym for Arthur.
** Art Metrano himself would best be known as Lt. Mauser from the ''Film/PoliceAcademy'' films.

Adding to Special Effects Failure

* SpecialEffectsFailure: Several.
** The cartoonish shots of Sputnik flying through space and the Russian missile as it makes its way towards New YorkCity.City.
***Especially of note is the missile's base spinning in space; the axis appearing to be ''outside'' the missile.
** If one watches carefully when the "British" spy is pulled into the living room set, one can see the wall behind the door.
** The actual, physical missile has no shadow in cutaway, appears to be made of plastic, and looks to be poorly cemented to the ground.
** The Russian soldier who saves the missile from the bomb obviously doesn't blow up- the film abruptly zooms in, making the cut apparent.

* NoBudget: The film was done so cheaply, it's hard to believe it's a 1961 film, more resembling one of the roadshow films of TheForties.
