Mary Royce:
Every bone in his body must be broken. But I'm not sure that's what killed him.
Lt. James Calder:
Mars is almost as big as Texas, maybe it has monsters.
Col. Van Heusen:
There's only one kind of a monster that uses bullets.
Maj. John Purdue:
It's got to kill us or starve and we've got to kill it or die.
Spokesman at Press Conference:
Another name for "Mars" is "Death".
Col. Edward Carruthers:
What is the usual reason an intelligent creature'd kill us?
Mary Royce:
It's hungry?
Col. Edward Carruthers:
We were almost back to the ship when Cartwright just disappeared. One minute he was there and the next minute he was gone as if something just plucked him out of the jeep... like candy out of a box.
Continuity: The talk used to distract the monster includes talk from dead characters.
Factual errors: If a spacecraft were to open its airlock to space as depicted there would be a violent explosive decompression and not the gradual buildup as depicted in the movie.
Factual errors: On the way back from Mars we see a meteorite, a "falling star", through the porthole. With no atmosphere for them to burn up in, meteorites are just lumps of rock.
Continuity: The spaceships different floors are never in order. For instance, Keinholz is on the top floor, he goes down one floor, looks around, then goes down another floor. This floor is the one with Carruthers and Eric playing Chess. After Carruthers hears a scream he goes up the ladder to ask Keinholz if he heard the noise; Carruthers peaks out of the hatch and is on the top floor, skipping the second floor Keinholz had to go through.
Audio/visual unsynchronized: The ship is shown as going up with the stars going down, but in one scene not too long after they take off, a crew member looks through a porthole and the stars are going from right to left. A shooting star can be seen. The next shot is a long shot of the porthole and the stars are going from top to bottom on the screen, then suddenly they just stop.
Continuity: After "It" attacks Van Heusen and tears his left boot and foot to shreds, his boot is clearly unscathed when another crew member drags him away from the hatch.
