There have been rumors of "works in progress" littered all over Ed's career. Some, like Hellborn and Final Curtain, were used by Ed to fill out other films. Others, like The Night The Banshee Cried remain undiscovered.
One such rumored project was a sci-fi sex romp called Amazon Women of Outer Space. Recently, footage was brought to the attention of director Sam Firstenberg that was supposedly from this lost film. After seeking out many authorities for their opinions as to the authenticity of the footage, Firstenberg was eventually convinced it was legit. Originally intending to utilize the bizarre, haphazard footage to create a new film, legal issues led Firstenberg to not use the footage. He did, however, base many shots in the film that emerged, The Interplanetary Surplus Male and the Amazon Women from Outer Space, on the footage that he found.
The film doesn't take itself very seriously. It attempts to capture the feel of Ed's work (and other, similar, low-budget film makers) and partially succeeds. The most glaring problem is it's self-awareness. There are far too many scenes that involve people breaking out of character or commenting on the action. It breaks the flow of the film and interrupts what is otherwise an amusing show.
As for the Ed influence, it is difficult to tell what scenes are meant to have been based on Ed's supposed footage. There are no obvious "Ed-isms" (such as day to night transtions, etc.) or Woodian dialogue.
