Trivia: Reportedly, THE GREEN SLIME was the first official Japanese-USA co-production of a movie. The film's theme song was released as a single (in those days...a 45 RPM record).

LINDA MILLER, who starred in another Japanese film, King Kong Escapes, was the daughter of actor/comedian Jackie Gleason.

Special added note: This movie was never completely riffed on by the Brains. Only bits and pieces were used for the original MST3K demo tape.
