Movie Trivia/Goofs

  • Movie Goof (continuity error): At the very beginning of the film, Ming and his henchman are discussing "an obscure body in the SK system", which the inhabitants refer to as the planet "Earth", pronounced as if the word is completely foreign to them. However, at that moment, Ming activates a button on his console labeled "Earth Quake".
  • John Osborne only has two lines.
  • Dennis Hopper was considered for the role of Dr Zarkov.
  • At one point Ming the Merciless says when he destroys a planet, he calls upon "the great god Daizan". Daizan is Japanese for "great cruelty".
