Worst Special Effect
The Meteors Attack...From Scratch! The "meteors" are just film scratches! He takes the opportunity to kiss her. She asks, "What was that?" That good, huh?

Stupidest-Looking Monster
"Something's Happening!" By which he means, "nothing's happening." At least not at first. (Don't know what he was looking at.) But then: Bad morph effect and SLM lizard-man!	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Worst Science
Atomic Moon-Energy Factors The particle disintegrated and now the energy factors have spread. Now the moon will make him atomic. And he'll explode.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Worst Picture

They Had To Throw Him Back, He Was Out Of Season

Johnny's made an arrowhead out of the moon rock "to speed up the energy process" before the hero becomes inevitably atomically unstable (Worst Science). They get dramatic and she screams "Noooooo!" (Bad Acting) and runs off. She has a shit-fit in her car (More Bad Acting) and the lizard-man appears (SLM). Johnny appears and shoots him. The glow starts and the world goes disco (SFX). After lamely flailing around with the arrow in him (at a different angle, Whoops), the monster disintegrates into a glowing pile of ash. Cue music. They leave. Pan to black. THE (Crummy) END.
