Irresistible Parody of tacky 1950s sci-fi movies
- and Ed Wood's PLAN NINE FROM OUTER SPACE in particular -
done in low-grade Black & White, with dialogue, costumes,
and so-called special effects to match.
Trouble begins when Martians discover that earthlings
have built an Atmos 4X Vaporizer that can wipe out whole planets.
Everyone plays it straight, which is why this is such fun
to watch. Even the names in the credits are a gag. Written
by Tor Lowry. The same team later reunited for MONARCH OF
THE MOON.

the scenes pics. Check out our Behind
the Scenes gallery for pictures you just won't find anywhere
else! The picture above is when we were busted for filming
in a park without a license. We all took off running in the
true Ed Wood style.
Check out our FUN
FACTS page to discover all the little extras that we've
added to DESTINATION MARS!.
The DESTINATION MARS! DVD
comes with a mocumentary which details the history of this
movie and why it was shelved 50 years ago (cough, cough) by
Joseph McCarthy.
