Most famous scene: I remember the argument with the bomb. But for me, the most memorable scene is the final one, when the surfer astronaut surfs away through outer space. That scene, combined with the argumentative bomb, are reminiscent of the final scene of Dr. Strangelove, with Slim Pickens in his cowboy hat stradling the bomb, yee-ha-ing, and riding it to armageddon. I saw this in a cinema when it came out, and loved it. It's astonishing that it cost only $60,000 to make. I mean sure, it wasn't exactly a cast of thousands; and the beach-ball alien was obviously cheap as chips ("It's your turn to feed the alien!"), but I had no trouble suspending belief. Maybe it was the drugs; I have no idea what I was taking back then.
