Tropes for the film:
- Auto-Kitchen: When the Martians offer a tour of their Underground City, Carol, the sole woman, demands to see the kitchen. She's informed that Martians don't have kitchens, only food laboratories where food is prepared ready to serve. She promptly declares Mars a woman's paradise.
- Space Clothes: Averted. The heroes embark for an Interplanetary Voyage wearing ordinary clothes and fedoras, while the token girl is wearing a skirt despite having to climb up ladders in the Retro Rocket.
- Tagline: "Fifty years into the Future!".
