Was it called WILD, WILD PLANET to cash in on THE WILD, WILD WEST TV Show?


I wondered if MGM gave this film the title WILD, WILD PLANET to cash in on the TV show WILD, WILD WEST. Not that there's any connection and the Italian filmmakers may not even known of the existence of the WILD, WILD WEST TV Show but American studios never miss a chance to connect a movie to something successful, no matter how pathetic.

Yes, that's why it was given that title. WWW was a big hit at the time. I actually saw Wild Wild Planet in a local theater as a little kid; it was a big thrill for the Saturday matinee crowd. Many years later I picked up an original poster for it in a thrift store while looking for something else. A cherished possession.
