Legacy
Movie-mocking television series Mystery Science Theater 3000 featured the oddly-titled print of the film in a 1992 season-4 episode. In the MST3K version, Joel riffs Rick Astley's song "Never Gonna Give You Up". Years later, the snippet surfaced on YouTube as "The First Rickroll" as the episode predates the "roboroll" from the Squaresoft game "Chrono Trigger". In the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode featuring the film, Joel Robinson sarcastically suggests that "some eye creatures are born with tight acrylic wool-blend turtleneck sweaters from Chess King." Crow T. Robot also mocks, "If you're ever in a fight with an eye creature, keep in mind that his head is simply draped casually over his shoulders and should be no trouble to knock off. Get ready to give chase to an injured eye creature; as you can see, he's wearing his Jack Purcell athletic shoes!" Crow even points out a shot featuring a common monster-movie goof: "The eye creatures were also unfortunate enough to have evolved with heavy-duty zippers running up their backs." Their riffing produced the fan-favorite phrase "They just didn't care," which was applied to other movies viewed on the show.
