 These same theaters had shown Retreat Hell!as their only feature for several months earlier in the same year, until they switched over to showing One Minute to Zero as their only option for the following several months that July.These same drive in theaters would only do this again on one more occasion, which would be for the movie Tarzan and the Lost Safari which was released in 1957

The intercutting of stock footage of USAF Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star and Royal Australian Air Force North American P-51 Mustang fighter-bombers, along with other aerial sequences has made "One Minute to Zero" an aviation film buff's favorite.
