1	* {{Anvilicious}}: A general sighs, "If only we had an operating anti-missile device, we could give some hope to those people out there." Stupid government, spending its time on cheese price support!
2	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The scene with the blind man.
3	* HilariousInHindsight: Or HarsherInHindsight - yeah, the military needs ''more money'' from the US government.
4	* 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.
5	* RetroactiveRecognition:
6	** Producer/director Barry Mahon would become '''more''' infamous among ''[=MST3K=]''/Podcast/{{RiffTrax}} fans as the one behind such horrors as ''Film/SantaAndTheIceCreamBunny''.
7	** 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.
8	** Art Metrano himself would best be known as Lt. Mauser from the ''Film/PoliceAcademy'' films.
9	* SpecialEffectsFailure: Several.
10	** The cartoonish shots of Sputnik flying through space and the Russian missile as it makes its way towards New York City.
11	*** Especially of note is the missile's base spinning in space; the axis appearing to be ''outside'' the missile.
12	** If one watches carefully when the "British" spy is pulled into the living room set, one can see the wall behind the door.
13	** The actual, physical missile has no shadow in cutaway, appears to be made of plastic, and looks to be poorly cemented to the ground.
14	** The Russian soldier who saves the missile from the bomb obviously doesn't blow up- the film abruptly zooms in, making the cut apparent.
15	* TheWoobie: The helpless blind man who says "Help me!" was ''intended'' as one. Instead, it just comes off as baffling.
