Quiz
A typical Willis O'Brien touch - in a long shot of the cage descending into the cave, a tiny stop motion bat flies across the screen. Only O'Brien would add another day's work to a scene where it would be barely noticed.

Blooper
Most likely due to budgetary issues, the voices of the opening sequence's narrator, the police radio dispatcher, the radio newscaster, and the public address announcer are all the same. Specifically, it belongs to Bob Johnson, best remembered for being heard in the opening sequence of most episodes of Missione impossibile (1966) ("Good morning, Mr. Phelps...").

Citazioni
Hank Scott: [after hearing an onimous noise] Ordinarily I've got nothing against moonlit nights, but I'll be glad to get by this one.

Giant Scorpions Unleashed In Mexico!

A volcano erupts and spits up these scorpions that are huge and prehistoric. This is the premise for The Black Scorpion, a 50's sci-fi/giant bug film. As cheesy 50's films go, this one is entertaining, if not a little slow in places. The Mexican landscape looks authentic and the scorpions themselves are pretty good when left in the hands of Willis O'Brien. But the close-ups of the creatures are a bit overused, almost to the point of becoming annoying. The scorpions kill each other off until one giant one is left to wreak his vengeance(and whet his appetite) in Mexico City. The best scene is the one when scientist Richard Denning(and his incredibly boring assistant Carlos Rivas, and annoying stow-a-way Juanito) are lowered into a giant cavern and the realm of Willis O'Brien's wonderful stop-motion animation. The rest of the film is rather predictable but still entertaining, and Mara Corday is at least pleasant to the eye as she must have had her clothing painted onto her.
