- QuizVicki London was originally cast in the lead female role, but it was given to Joy Harmon after London refused to show her boobs to the director. She said in an interview "During the wardrobe fittings, Bert Gordon wanted us [Joy Harmon, Tisha Sterling, Gail Gilmore] to take off our shirts and show him our breasts, because he wanted the girl with the biggest ones to play the lead and be featured in the movie poster. I refused and Tisha did too. They still gave Tisha a very nice part but it was down hill after this for me. They made an issue out of me not willing to show my breasts, so they threatened that if I didn't do it they were going to cut me out of everything and they did." Gail Gilmore remembered this incident and said, "They wanted us to show us popping out of our clothes and asked if we minded being nude for it during filming though we would cover our breasts with our arms. I never had any qualms with nudity so I readily said yes. Joy did too, but Vicki refused." Joy Harmon said that while she would never agree to being nude onscreen in a movie, she had no problem being nude on set for any role that called for it as long as the camera didn't see anything. She wasn't shy so it didn't bother her if actors or production crew saw her body. So when Gordon asked to see her breasts, it made sense why he was doing it and she wanted the bigger role, so she took off her top and let him look at her topless.

- Citazioni
Genius: This time I was sure I had it. It's a very elusive formula.
Elsa: Had what, kiddo?
Genius: Kiddo? I prefer to be called Genius, if you don't mind.
Elsa: Okay, Genius, no offence. What formula?
Genius: For the Goo. There's not much of it, and they want me to make some more. But it's not easy.
Elsa: Why don't we go for a walk, Genius? I'll buy you an ice cream cone.
Genius: I never touch it. It's high in cholesterol. But I'll go for a walk with you.
Elsa: Okay.
- ConnessioniFeatured in Movie Macabre: Village of the Giants (1984)
Tommy Kirk, also of the classic "Mars Needs Women" is fooling around with his lady friend in the start of the film, when Ronny Howard (Still with a full head o' hair, and answering to the modest name "Genius") creates a formula that makes things grow. When the no-good drifter teens get their hands on it, they cause some real trouble, and it's up to Tommy and Ronny to stop the chaosy.
The best scene is the first in which the teens appear before the town. They show up at an outdoor barbecue, and everyone is afraid, but really, not so afraid that they run away or anything, they just kind of look up and gasp a lot. So then the giants are making threats, and Tommy, in a fit of rage and large hair, picks up a chair (That just happened to be sitting around outside in a park) and breaks it over the giants legs (They pretend, use your imagination). He goes "Ow!" and then backfists Tommy who gets whalloped. Very nicely done.
The whole film takes place in a vacuum. No one seems to be much surprised or worried by the giants ducks that show up out of nowhere in the Whiskey A Go-Go and start dancing. They just kind of go along with it. Nor is anyone interested in calling the government in when the teens take over the town. They just sort of go with it. And really when these giants move as slow as they do, why would anyone be afraid of them? You can always outrun them, or if they try something, take two steps to the left. Bert I. Gordon, if you'll pardon the expression, just wasn't thinking "big" enough in this movie to really deal with the consequences of his ideas. The end is so banal and rather anti-climactic, especially for what is essentially a monster movie.
All in all, "Village of the Giants" is low on logic, but high on some good laughs, most at its expense.
