Storyline

- TriviaThe film's lunar surface sets and models were so well done some were re-used in other television productions for many years afterwards, appearing in the likes of UFO (1970), Moonbase 3 (1973) and Space: 1999 (1975), as well as the feature films Superman II (1980), Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987) and as recently as Duncan Jones' debut film Moon (2009).
- GoofsWhen Clementine discovers the skeleton of her brother, a suture line can clearly be seen separating the top half of the skull above the brow showing it to be a skull with a removable top.
- Crazy creditsWith the permission of John Waddington Limited, the game Moonopoly is based upon the property trading game marketed by them under their registered trade name, 'Monopoly'.

Featured review
This was an MST movie?
Overall, Moon Zero Two isn't that bad a movie. It is curious that Mystery Science Theater used it as an experiment, albeit an early one. It is a decent movie with a good plot and engaging characters, something 99% of the other MST movies do not have.
The cartoon sequence in the opening credits along with the title song, suggest something along the lines of a Pink Panther movie rather than a science fiction movie. The be-bop jazz soundtrack is woefully out of place in dramatic scenes where something more serious is required, but this is nit-picking.
The fact that the MST episode guide does not talk much about this movie seems to speak more to the film's availability than to its actual lack of worth as a cinematic form of torture. (A similar movie would be "Quest of the Delta Knights".)
No one will confuse this film with 2001, but it's not Star Trek 6 either. I wouldn't set my VCR to watch this movie, but if there is nothing else to watch on a rainy Saturday afternoon, it's worth your time.
