Wissenswertes
American-International Pictures had planned on doing a sequel to this film. Concept drawings and even concept models were reportedly made. The sequel was not produced.

Patzer
The film is set in the 1800s, though as the Albatross flies over London, Robur looks through the scope and sees Elizabethan London, including Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. The shot is stock footage from Heinrich V. (1944). Soon after, more recent London footage appears, including the 19th century Tower Bridge. The aerial view of Paris is definitely 20th century.

Zitate
Prudent: You, sir, are mad! Quite, quite mad!
Robur: How like the reasoning of your kind, Mr. Prudent. All well and sane to be the owner of factories, that products of which cause the violent deaths of millions in wartime and in peace. But to kill hundreds or even thousands with the aim of ending such deaths for all time? This is "madness."
Prudent: And do you, sir, consider the man who makes a weapon responsible for the action of the man who buys it?
Robur: Yes, I do, sir! All men are responsible to all other men.

Crazy Credits
Closing credits: "I take my dream with me. But it will not be lost to humanity. It will belong to you the day the world is educated enough to profit by it and wise enough not to abuse it" From Jules Verne's MASTER OF THE WORLD

Alternative Versionen
The U.S. 16mm television syndication prints remove the prologue (showing man's early attempt at flight) and the exit music. This brought the running time down to what could be shown in a typical two-hour time frame with little or no editing to the main body of the film.

Verbindungen
Edited from Vier Federn (1939)

Charming..and Fun.

This is a fun movie to watch, full of charm and thinking characters in entertaining action, debate and introspection. With Vincent Price in the lead as Robur(who has declared war on warfare with his flying machine the Albatross) and Charles Bronson as his unlikely heroic nemesis Strock(almost an early era anti-hero), how can one not be intrigued? But also there's grand adventure, costumes and an 18th Century setting to boot. Also the main theme of the need to end warfare remains a very strong one and the film never loses sight of this. Just great stuff to watch.
