Trivia:
Among the original scenes that were shot from the "scrapped" version of the film was a longer finale where Davidge returns Zamus to his home planet and is introduced to Gerry's parents before the lengthy ceremony with the Drac high counsel takes place. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When the Drax is sitting by the camp fire reading from his book, we see the open book for a few seconds. The page on the right is the same page as the left just upside down. more

A sci-fi gem -- one of the Great Unknowns of the genre, 21 October 2001
10/10
Author: smokehill retrievers from Chancellorsville VA

Simply a masterpiece, and due primarily to the masterful FX on Lou Gossett and his inspired, magnificent performance. Most sci-fi fans have never heard of this one, but I've found very few who have seen it who weren't impressed.

This film is a perfect example of how totally bankrupt the film awards (every one of them) really are. Gossett should have walked away with Best Actor on this one, hands down, yet I doubt this film garnered even a single nomination.
