This film has gone down in history as one of the worst films in history and I can see why. To me it looks as if the producers had two different films in mind and decided to combine the two into one horrific mess. First you have the story about the aliens who come to Earth to kidnap our women and use them as "breeding stock to re-populate their planet". Next you have the story about the android whose space capsule crash lands in Puerto Rico and goes on a murderous rampage. Both those plots if done separately would have made rather bad individual movies. However, together, the two stories make this an even bigger bomb. Also, not only is the plot horrendous, but who was the genius that thought about adding a couple of pop tunes to the film. The two songs, "That's the Way Its Got to Be" and "To Have and Hold" were very inappropriate for the scenes they were inserted into. However, the acting was what really stood out like a sore thumb. Even though many of the cast would go on to have workable careers in films and television, I doubt that they would still put this film on their resume.
Also, one thing that I have noticed while viewing the film is the somewhat lesbian subtext. The way Princess Marcuzan looks at the first captive Earth girl almost makes you think you were going to look at a little girl on girl action once she was "purified".
However, even though this is a very bad film, it still can be seen as a guilty pleasure. In fact, this film definitely was geared to the drive in crowd.
