Classic line: "A wounded animal that large isn't good."

Trivia: The interior and building exterior shots were done at a radio station near the famous Hollywood sign.

The same ALIEN costume is also seen (and worn again by ROSS STURLIN) in 315-TEENAGE CAVEMAN, which also used the same Bronson Canyon for location shots. That location was used for 107-ROBOT MONSTER; 210-KING DINOSAUR; 311-IT CONQUERED THE WORLD; 317-VIKING WOMEN; 319-WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST; and 404-TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE.
