Anecdotes
The film's subtitle comes from an alleged statement of a U.S. Army Major (name unknown) during the Vietnam War who was said to have defended the complete and total destruction of both a Vietnamese town and everyone and everything in it at the hands of Army soldiers who were acting on his orders by supposedly saying "It became necessary to destroy the town to save it."

Gaffes
After breaking through a roadblock, the main character's car has three out of its four front headlights broken as a result. Later, all four of them are suddenly intact when it does not seem probable that the three broken ones could have been repaired that quickly.

Citations
Dr. Murder: Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of any organization which advocates the violent overthrow of the government of the United States of America?

Corman's Last Hurrah

This was a weird sort of science fiction comedy from "Professor Corman". This film pretty much reminds me of a spaced out version of the short lived show "The New People", which came out a year earlier. The whole idea of everyone over 35 being killed by a gas that didn't work on the younger population was a wild idea to begin with, but the surrealism of this movie even made it wilder to look at. Too bad that Corman's last film for A.I.P. couldn't have been a schlock classic like many of his earlier. At least on the bright side we get to look at a very young Cindy Williams, Talia Shire and Ben Vereen in what was one of, if not their first roles in a motion picture.
