Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe infamous armor-plated "killer cockroaches" are in fact Madagascar "hissing" cockroaches. In reality, they are three-inches long (as seen in the film), and are quite benign. They make the "hissing" sound to communicate with one another, and when they are agitated. Live roaches were used in close up shots, but rubber mock ups were used in the wide and group shots.
- GoofsIn the sequence with Tanner on the motorcycle with a female mannequin in the desert with the giant scorpions, in some shots it is a real woman instead of a mannequin on the motorcycle with Tanner.
- Quotes
Maj. Eugene Denton: Tanner this is Denton! This whole town is infested with killer cockroaches. I repeat: KILLER COCKROACHES!

Featured review
There are two officers in a missile silo. One turns to the other and says "I do not think we make a good team." Well, we will soon find out. Yep, it happens, the big one.
Now the few survivors after some post-apocalyptic local disasters go on a road trip to follow a signal and see where it leads them. We get to go with them on the road trip barely escaping big bugs, bad guys, and more. If they get there, what will they find?
It is fun to see the actors of the 1977 era playing in the movie. If you like post-apocalypse movies this is up there with the best of them. However, there is nothing to distinguish this from any of today's cheap T. V. programs pumped out by the Syfy (imagine greater) Chanel to placate the proletariat.
Any five DVD presentations named "Century of Science Fiction - Hosted by Christopher Lee "Christopher stated that the writer of the book (Roger Zelazny) knew that the film was going to be mangled, so he took the money and ran. The book or novella is more coherent and has a different message.
