Curiosidades
Upon its release, the film received mostly negative reviews. By the 1980s, it became something of a cult film to horror and B-movie film fans. In 1983, an authorized, re-edited comedic spoof version entitled What's Up, Hideous Sun Demon (1989) (also known as Revenge of the Sun Demon) was released. The film's star and producer Robert Clarke agreed to re-dub his dialogue for the spoof, but reportedly later regretted being involved in the production. In 1985, Hideous Sun Demon: Special Edition was released.

Erros de gravação

Watch out for those darn radioactive isotopes!

Robert Clarke wrote, directed, and starred in this film about a scientist that is exposed to a special radioactive isotope that makes him change into a lizard-like man everytime he is touched by the rays of the sun. Clarke is the scientist that has a drinking problem and an overactive libido as well. The film is VERY cheaply made, and most of the actors(okay, all of the actors) could have really benefited from a few acting lessons. The film nonetheless is very entertaining. There are some scenes which will make you laugh and cry( a higher level of laughter) because of their ineptitude and improbability. The scene where our evolution from fish and lizards being described is a gem, as are the two scenes where Clarke really goes overboard screaming "Why Me!" and the like. There are some well-shot scenes too. The ending is very nicely done, and the scenes with Clarke and a little girl have some poignant moments. The gal playing Trudy, a night club singer that Clarke dates in the middle of an evening trying to help him forget his plight no doubt, is Nan Peterson and a REAL knockout! Peterson shows more than ample cleavage to keep even the most hardened of critics entertained. All in all required film viewing for the aficionado of le bad cinema.
