Reception

The film is generally considered one of Bruce Le's worst movies. Joseph Kuby of City on Fire gave the film 5.5/10 and said: "On the whole, this film is worth checking out if you’re looking for a film that’s out of this world. It’s not the worst Bruceploitation movie but nowhere near the best, not by a long shot."[1]
