    The film was shot at Roger Corman's New World studio on Main Street in Venice. Fred Olen Ray rented the studio for two weekends (four days). One day he spent shooting scenes for his film Biohazard. The other three days were spent filming footage for Prison Ship. Ray says he was inspired by Roger Corman making The Terror using left over sets from The Raven. Aldo Ray was hired for one day's work. Ray then used this footage to raise money to complete the picture. Funds were raised from Jack H. Harris.
