- TriviaWith the international (including Italy) success of large-scale, effects-laden science-fiction spectacles from Japan, such as Ishirô Honda's The Mysterians (1957) and Battle in Outer Space (1959), Italian producers had hoped to duplicate their success with this, Italy's first big space opera.

Lucy (Y13): If you like.
Ray Peterson (IZ41): Do you sell them?
Lucy (Y13): I'm afraid not.

Featured review
I kinda like Assignment Outer Space. It's a real simple little sci-fi flick with your typically bad Italian effects. One scene made the movie for me though.
There's a scene where an astronaut tries to escape a crash by jumping down to one of Mars' moons (strangely similar to the big budget Mission to Mars). Suddenly, there's an explosion when his ship hits. Unfortunately, the person handling the mattes was apparently sleeping that day, because you see an explosion in front of a bunch of buildings and behind a Chevy. Here we are in deep space near the Red Planet and there's a Chevy on a street in Italy. One of the most jarringly funny scenes I ever saw in a grade z movie.
