Trivia

Executive producer Roger Corman said Peeters' version of the film lacked the required exploitative elements needed to satisfy its intended audience. In post-production, Corman said Peeters had done an outstanding job in filming the death scenes involving male characters, but all of the rape scenes had been left "shadowy" or used cutaways before the attacks occurred. Second unit director James Sbardellati, who later directed Deathstalker, was hired to enliven the film; he filmed explicit scenes in which the humanoids rape women. (Wikipedia)
