Anecdotes
Noel Neill (Second Airline Ticket Agent) and Phyllis Coates (Mrs. Mulfory) both played Lois Lane: Neill in Superman (1948), Atom Man vs. Superman (1950) and Seasons Two to Six of Adventures of Superman (1952) and Coates in Superman and the Mole-Men (1951) and Season One of Adventures of Superman (1952).

Gaffes
The Soviet bombers shown dropping the atomic bombs are in fact American B-29 superfortresses. In fact in the American retaliation raids the same B-29 planes are shown. This reveals stock aircraft footage was used for both.

Mr. Ohman: I think America wants new leadership.
Vince Potter: What kind of leadership do you suggest?
Mr. Ohman: I suggest a wizard.
Vince Potter: A what?
Mr. Ohman: A wizard, like Merlin, who could kill his enemies by wishing them dead. That's the way we like to beat Communism now, by wishing it dead.

Not bad

Like many people who have seen this movie, I saw it through the TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000, which lampoons bad movie. As such, I was suprised to find that Invasion USA was not a bad movie. Perhaps this post- 9-11 world makes us all a bit more paranoid about an external enemy, so that this deeply paranoid, McCarthyism influenced film doesn't seem too ridiculous. The film seeks to relay the message that if America lets its guard down we are vulnerable to attack. While full scale invasion seems unlikely, we all learned a painful lesson that we are vulnerable. Is this a great movie? No. The usage of stock footage is excessive, and the subject is overly preachy. The film plays out almost like a morality tale in which each character ultimately meets their doom as a result of America's laxness. Invasion USA is a deeply paranoid film from a different time, whose only purpose is to relay a message, but its a message we should all keep in mind.
