@sleepyhollow783 The cave is the famous Bronson Cavern. I didn't know its name for a long while, but it's been in a huge number of these things, including those two movies and Eegah.
Special effects were the worst, dialog was laughable, acting was terrible, but I have to say the basic plot was somewhat decent. I almost enjoyed the movie as much as the riffing.
David Love (Derek) and Director Tom Lockyear a.k.a. Thomas Lockyear Graeff (Betty's BF Joe) were actually lovers.
The Secretary and Thor (Mr. TORCHA!) were played by Bryan and Ursula Pearson, who were conned by Tom Graeff into financing the film, and were never repaid.
In 1962, Tom Graeff bought a huge ad in the L.A. Times, claiming to be second Christ.
Daddy-O's drive-in dirt is just amazing sometimes. :)
Satellite News, the official MST3K website has a section called DADDY-O's DRIVE-IN DIRT, which offers all kinds of interesting tidbits about the movies and shorts featured on the show.
It's amazing how often these films involve some sort of chicanery.
I seem to remember hearing a story about an actor who took a role in a MST3K-sporked film so he could pay for a sex change operation (think on TvTropes). Would that be related to this?
That sounds like Bunny Breckinridge who appeared in Ed Wood's PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE (he may have been in others, but I'm not sure). He did want a sex change, but after a terrible car accident while traveling to Mexico to undergo the procedure, he gave up the idea.
Please tell me someone else noticed that you could hear Derek's dad yelling outside the interplanetary craft,even with the "hatch" closed??Need some Owens Corning insulation eh?LOL!
I definitely noticed the Dad yelling from the outside. I kept thinking, "I hope that microphone doesn't pick up the extra noise!" But you're totally right. That space ship has paper-thin walls. Kinda like my apartment. :)
So have I told you I have a man up in space? No. Literally, I have a man up in space.

I'm pretty sure those caves have been used in other movies. They're perfect hiding places for treasure, monsters, and bad guys with secret weapons.
