Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Scott Plank died tragically in a car accident just two years after this film, cutting short a career that included this and numerous TV guest spots.
This arrived during the 1996-1998 direct-to-video sci-fi gold rush when Moonbase and Mars movies proliferated after Apollo 13's success—most forgotten, all glorious.
