Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Bill Rebane began shooting the film in 1961, but ran out of money. Years later, director Herschell Gordon Lewis bought the incomplete film to team it with Moonshine Mountain (1964) as a double feature. Lewis filmed some additional footage, added narration (which he did himself), and released it in 1965. Many of the actors didn't come back for later filming, which explains why most of the characters disappear without explanation. One actor changed so much that he ended up playing his own brother.
- GoofsThe sound of the phone ringing is obviously made by someone on set.
- Quotes
Narrator: With the telegram, one cloud lifts, and another descends. Astronaut Frank Douglas, rescued, alive, well, and of normal size, some 8000 miles away in a lifeboat. With no memory of where he has been, or how he was separated from his capsule. Then who, or what, has landed here? Is it here yet, or has the cosmic switch been pulled? Case in point. The line between science fiction and science fact is microscopically thin. You have witnessed the line being shaved even thinner. But is the menace with us, or is the monster gone?

But worst movie of all time? I say no, and here's why: there is nothing in this movie that offends the senses, mainly because there is nothing in this movie. It's like hating a brick wall, or a black hole, or the number zero. Troll 2, on the other hand, is infinitely offensive--to the eyes, ears, to the mind and to the soul. It is also emotionally devastating. It's a nightmare that actually deletes a part of your inner being. There are no characters in Monster A Go-Go, and, hence, no one to hate. But there is not one single character in all of Troll 2 that you do not want to murder, so foul and revolting are these disgusting, annoying, shrill, anti-characters. The acting in Monster is dull and robotic; the acting in Troll 2 is infuriating. And at least Monster A Go-Go has a monster in it. Troll 2 has no trolls.
I will say that I'd rather watch Monos: The Hands of Fate than Monster A Go-Go because Manos is at least awesomely bad in almost heroic ways.
