Cast

Production

Fred Olen Ray says the film has its genesis with sets left over from Roger Corman's Masque of the Red Death. The sets were going to be torn down so Ray decided to use them for a film. A script was written, actors hired and Ray shot two days of a sword-and-sorcery film, Wizards of the Demon Sword. He then planned filming the rest of the film. They only needed four days, and had five days' use left of the camera equipment. Ray decided to make another movie, Bad Girls from Mars. It was one of several collaborations between Tamblyn and Ray.
Dan Golden rewrote a script from another writer.

Reception

According to Ray, Demon Sword "tanked financially" in part because the film wound up at Troma who "ripped him off".
