    Low-budget underwater programmer

    One of my sci-fi/horror/fantasy reviews written 50 years ago: Directed by Francis D. Lyon; Produced by Earle Lyon, for United Pictures, released by Feature Film Corporation of America. Screenplay by Arthur C. Pierce; Photography by Brick Marquard; Edited by Robert Eisen; Music by Paul Dunlap. Starring: Scott Brady, Sheree North, Gary Merrill, John Howard, Wende Wagner and Biff Elliot.

    Science-fiction adventure revolving around perilous underwater scientific exploration and the uncovering of a man-like amphibian monster, of fishy parentage. Suffers from a low-grade production despite nice cast.

    "You Can Stand Just So Much, And Then, You Crack!"...

    Commander Wayne (Scott Brady) travels to a research facility on the ocean floor to study an unidentified object. Wayne spends most of his free time being overly aggressive with the two beautiful, female scientists. He also does a lot of yelling.

    The real fun begins once the crew -finally- enter the alien craft. They discover a container resembling a greyish watermelon. Once this container is taken back to the sea lab, it grows and hatches! In no time, a hideous creature is on a murderous rampage! Actually, the monster isn't bad at all. Far from drab, it has psychedelic red fins. The crew must fight for their lives, accompanied by the soundtrack from ANGRY RED PLANET.

    DESTINATION INNER SPACE is quirky, 1960's sci-fi at its best...

    But It's Got Race Bannon

    Lots of cheesy fun but what's really cool is that Mike Road did the voices for the animated series' characters Race Bannon (JONNY QUEST), Reed Richards (FANTASTIC FOUR) and Zandor (HERCULOIDS). So for fantasy fans everywhere, we can put a face with that heroic "manly man" voice we grew up with in the 60s.

    Underwater B-movie mayhem!

    I know many people will think I'm crazy giving this 7 out of 10 but i really enjoyed this movie so much i had to buy the DVD on ebay.its one of those movies i saw as a kid back in jersey on creature features. the monster looks like the creature from the black lagoons poor cousin. awesome b-movie cast the great Scott Brady playing a good guy for once, Gary Merrill(mysterious island)Sheree north(Kramer's mom on Seinfeld) James hong(big trouble in little china)mike road(voice of race banning on johnny quest)and john Howard(the unknown terror)the plot is somewhat like 1989s deepstar six kind of.there's a flying saucer underwater,and a big green scaly monster with flipper feet.the music is from the b-movie gem the angry red planet(60)its an enjoyable little b-movie. 7 out of 10.

    It's a cheezy movie,but look at the era. I liked the submarine

    I rate this movie to be like..."The creature from the black lagoon" meets a bad episode of "Sea Hunt", meets "Mars needs women". But....you have to remember the 60's didn't have computer graphics special effects. And you must remember this was a low budget movie. It is ok to watch for a laugh if you watch it in the spirit of the times in which it was made. I like this movie particularly because I have acquired and own the twelve foot long, red, torpedo shaped, twin open cockpits, wet submarine that was used in this movie. It's neat to own a piece of the original equipment from this movie.

    • Quotes

      Rene Peron: 70% of the surface of the Earth is covered by oceans; and we know less about it than we do the surface of the moon .. the forms of life are endless.

      Commander Wayne: You're really serious about this, aren't you?

      Rene Peron: It's a serious problem; there's enough food in the ocean to supply the world's population forever! The sea is a perpetual food factory; and the specimen is under the microscope, Commander.

      Commander Wayne: Oh, well, after a tour of duty aboard a submarine for several years, a man remembers there are a lot more interesting things to study than, oh - seaweed.

      Rene Peron: Like women, for instance?

      Commander Wayne: Well, yes; if they look like you.

      Rene Peron: And I suppose I'm just the woman you've been looking for?

      Commander Wayne: You have a few of the qualifications.

      Rene Peron: [Chuckles] Why don't you try 'You've got a beautiful mind' routine; or in the indirect approach, um, y'know, about becoming platonic friends?

      Commander Wayne: Well, somebody must've given you a pretty bad time!

      Rene Peron: Wrong again, Commander; I just know a lot about men.

      Commander Wayne: I bet you do!

      Rene Peron: For your information, I lived with five of them.

      Commander Wayne: Oh! All at once?

      Rene Peron: Yes

      [pregnant pause]

      Rene Peron: I grew up with five older brothers; and they taught me all the tricks; I've heard it ALL, Commander!.
