* ApprovalOfGod: According to a 1985 interview with ''Comics Feature'', of all the Marvel television productions he was involved with at the time, this was oddly enough one of the two that Creator/StanLee was pleased with the most (the other being the much more well-known and much more successful ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977''), saying that in comparison, ''Film/CaptainAmerica1979'' was "a bit [of a] disappointment", and ''Series/TheAmazingSpiderMan1978'' was "a total nightmare" (even prefering [[Series/SpiderManJapan the Japanese Spider-Man series]] over it).
* ColbertBump: The film received a renewed surge of popularity following the release of [[Film/DoctorStrange2016 the 2016 film]] part of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. Perhaps it's not coincidence that it got a DVD release for the first time in the United States and Canada shortly after said film was released, on November 1, 2016, and a Blu-ray by Shout! Factory in 2022, the year [[Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness the sequel to the 2016 film]] got released.
