The film was an attempt to [[FollowTheLeader replicate the success]] of the Creator/RayHarryhausen films of the time, especially the previously mentioned Sinbad film, to the point that they got both the director and star of ''Film/The7thVoyageOfSinbad'' into the project (but not Harryhausen himself, which wouldn't help). They even tried to replicate the then-revolutionary stop motion special effects. It got to the point that Columbia Pictures threatened to sue United Artists, the film's distributor, over plagiarism. Their solution? It was re-edited ''as a musical.''

''Jack the Giant Killer'' was a 1962 SwordAndSorcery film, directed by Nathan H. Juran and starring Kerwin Mathews (of ''Film/The7thVoyageOfSinbad'' fame) as the title character. The film was loosely based on the [[Literature/JackTheGiantKiller fairy tale of the same name]], and when we mean loosely, we mean ''very'' loosely.
