they say the devil in the detail . he must have shoot this movie and because absolutely no attention be pay to detail in any way . i have notice in other movie that george pal be good at make scene full of flashy and hi tech gadget and but not at make people act in believable way . the power dwarf all his previous effort in this direction . this movie attempt to take itself seriously . but it be so poorly execute that it be impossible for the viewer to take it seriously . it too bad mst3k be not still around . the power would be a natural for it . imdb limit review size and so i can not fit all the incredibly stupid stuff in . i will have to restrict myself to a few of the highlight . what amazes me be that it just keep get stupider and stupider a it go along and just when you think such a thing couldn not be possible . equal equal spoiler equal equal tanner ( george hamilton ) and lansing ( suzanne pleshette and who about as much like a professor a last month centerfold ) be at the lab after hour . suddenly the rocket g force simulator centrifuge start up and which get their attention . they try to turn it off and but the control be jam . tanner throw the switch . ( switch be such big star in this movie and they should be list in the cast . ) suddenly the whole lab be light in red light and for no reason and and none be ever give . hallson ( arthur oconnell ) be dead in the centrifuge and and evidently have be for hour and although we all hear it turn on only minute before . tanner be blame for murder hallson and go on the run . the first place he run be into a fun house and which for no reason be a storefront on a busy downtown street . he have psychedelic experience there and nearly get kill when the merry go round go out of control and but then leave . he get ditch in the desert by a hick gas station attendant . instead of follow the jeep and which be obviously head back to town and tanner go off in a completely different direction . it have be only half an hour and but he be already die of thirst . he still have on his suit with jacket and tie and tightly button collar . he take shelter in a grove of tree and which turn out to be an air force test ground . the jet come and deliver enough ordnance to wipe hanoi off the face of the map . the explosion do not even ruffle tan hair . to get their attention and he set the place on fire . why the bomb have not ignite anything be not explain . why the pilot would think fire in an area that just be bomb back to the stone age unusual in any way be similarly ignore . tanner go to the house of mrs. hallson ( yvonne de carlo ) who have see him several time previously in the film . she open the door and look right at him and but asks and who be you . as soon a he say his name and she seem to know who he be and let him in . tanner and lansing and and melnicker ( nehemiah persoff ) have to hide out from the police . what more logical place than a kitchenware convention . there be no room leave in the hotel and so they go to a wild party in a stranger room . why . ask lansing . so we can keep together and keep awake . no explanation why they need to keep awake . also no explanation why melnicker die while sit alone on the sofa . or why the party just happen to have a striptease record on the stereo and wait for someone to drop the needle . or why melnicker erstwhile dance partner get up after everyone have pass out and put on the record and start to strip . an hour and twenty minute into the film and tanner tell lansing and we have to start somewhere . she and nordlund ( michael rennie ) must be at a meeting by 2 represent00 pm . tanner go straight to the home of another co worker and van zandt ( richard carlson ) . it be suddenly night when he get there . a driverless car come up and try to run tanner down . he try to leave in his car and but be paralyze . he decide to drive anyway and veer all over the road and narrowly miss other car . he see headlight follow him in the mirror and be suddenly ok. he sideswipe a semi and which doesn not even dent the car and but somehow loosen the front wheel . he come to a drawbridge where traffic be stop and and drive through the barricade into the water . he and the car sink . he look like he go to drown and but then open the convertible top and swim to the surface and where the car be still bubble like a fishtank aerator ( no sign of any bubble a minute ago during the underwater shot ) and swim away . detective corlane ( gary merrill ) show tan a note that they find in his apartment and ask him to meet scotty ( earl holliman ) at the auditorium . corlane say and you will and but not alone . when they get there and tanner say and scotty will never talk to me with all these cop here . corlane represent youre not go in with the cop . then he ( a cop ) go in with tanner . equal equal end spoiler equal equal to make this review fit and i cut about half the dumb stuff i be go to point out and so you can imagine how much more stupidity awaits . this movie be not bad in the way most bad movie be bad . the acting be good by an all star cast . the production value be fairly high . it doesn not drag . if you do not care at all about continuity or credibility and or expect thing to make sense and or people to behave in logical way and you will probably enjoy it . in fact and if your short term memory have be eradicate and you will probably find it very entertaining . people who still retain all their faculty will likely find it a hoot from start to finish .
