What's left behind the scenes
- A fully functional Landmaster amphibious all-terrain vehicle, costing $300,000, was constructed for the film's shooting. The 10-ton, 11-meter-long hull consisted of two articulated sections made of sheet steel and aluminum, had 12 wheels, and a 7-liter Ford engine. It traveled at a speed of about 60 km/h on land and developed 5 knots in the water. Inside, there were bunk beds, a shower, and a bathtub. Later, the Landmaster was used in episodes of the films "Army of Machines" (1994), "Hybrid" (1997), and the series "Get A Life" (1990-1992).
- In 1976, this film was considered the most expensive science fiction project of the 20th Century Fox film company. Hoping for a successful release, the studio spared no effort in promoting it. At the same time, George Lucas's film "Star Wars: Episode 4 – A New Hope" (1977) could not boast such an advertising budget, and everyone at the studio was absolutely convinced that it would not be successful. Everything turned out exactly the opposite.
- The terrifying killer cockroaches are, in fact, Madagascar hissing cockroaches, just over seven centimeters long and quite friendly. They communicate with each other through hissing, or it is a sign of excitement. Live insects were filmed in close-up, and for shots from a distance or when filming several cockroaches at once, prop insects were used.
- Three hundred male cockroaches were used in the film (to prevent breeding). It took a week to film the scenes with the cockroaches.
- The scene in which Ian-Michael Vincent (1944-2019) dodges giant scorpions on a motorcycle was initially filmed with full-size animatronic insect models. It didn't turn out very well, and images of real scorpions were superimposed on the images of the models during post-production.
