- Yuo cannot blame the finns for the wretched quality of this movie. AIP
- <and probably Roger Corman. Just a hunch...> bought this unreleased turkey
- for a song, reshot dialogue scnes with American speaking stand-ins, re-edited
- the pee out of it, and released this abortion unto the world.
-
- the finns may have made the film <it WAS a Finn/Russo co-production>, but
- only AIP could have made it what it is!!!!
