I remember watching "Lost Missile" (actually throwing a fit until my brother and several cousins at whose home I was an overnight guest agreed to watch it with me - I was, from time to time, the Eric Cartman of the 1960s - sorry, guys) and being somewhat embarrassed when the sustained wave of million-degree heat emerged as a plot device - even as a second-grader I knew that a mere missile just couldn't carry the energy around for that much heat or devastation over more than the duration and limited radius of a nuclear detonation.
My inflicting that turkey on loving relatives was a self-punishing crime.
The film's production values were very good. The acting isn't bad (apart from the Shatnerism of the actor who played a governor's aide that someone else here mentioned).
But the idea of a missile Easy-Baking the surface of the Earth by means of the heat of its exhaust... no.
How'd the people at "Mystery Science Theater 3000" miss "The Lost Missile," anyway?
It's a great classic of unintentional comedy - watch it if you want something to drink beer to some weekend.
