History Trivia / KissMeetsThePhantomOfThePark

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Kiss was asked to write new songs for the movie, but couldn't due the limited production time. As a result, the only "new" song was "Rip and Destroy" (the song the robot clones sing), which was just "Hotter Than Hell" with new ill-fitting lyrics.

* HeAlsoDid: Anthony Zerbe went on to be in ''Film/LicenceToKill'' - yes, someone is in this ''and'' a James Bond film.

* OldShame: Don't ask Gene or Paul about it.
** Hell, don't ask ''anybody'' about it!
** For Paul and Gene now this might be less of the case. The writers of ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndKissRockAndRollMystery'' clearly were playing off certain parts of this. Whether or not it's because they softened up on this movie or the second was an attempt to do that premise better, is up in the air.
-->'''Gene Simmons:''' It's a classic film...[[SelfDeprecation if you're on drugs]].
** The only band member who took the film in stride was Ace, but mostly because [[TheCuckoolanderWasRight he always thought it was a bad idea]] and [[ItAmusedMe went along with it for yuks]]. [[SelfDeprecation He apparently laughed his ass off at the premiere]], calling it "the funniest shit I'd ever seen in my life."
** Actor Terry Lester (who played Sam, and who would later go on to a ''very'' successful career in soap operas) has no problem admitting that he was in this film, and love it when fans mention it to him. His attitude seems to be, "What's to be ashamed about? [[AwesomeDearBoy I did a movie with Kiss!]]"

-->'''Gene Simmons:''' It's a classic film...[[TakeThatUs if you're on drugs]].

* RemakeCameo: Inverted- Paul Stanley went on to play the actual Phantom of the Opera in [[Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical]] after battling a much more low-key TheatrePhantom in this movie. It was, to date, the only time the role has been stunt cast with a celebrity (unless you count Ben Forster, who had competed for and won the role of Jesus in ''Theatre/JesusChristSuperstar'' on a singing competition reality show, then later played the Phantom).

* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/BrionJames was one of the park security guards, long before making a name for himself in ''Film/FortyEightHours'' and ''Film/BladeRunner''.

* LoopingLines: Peter Criss didn't show up to the sessions for these; his dialogue was replaced by Creator/MichaelBell.
* NonSingingVoice: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] - The only time you hear Peter Criss's actual voice in the entire thing is when he's singing.

* StarDerailingRole: Fans and Kiss themselves have both said this film was one of the reasons Ace Frehley and Peter Criss left Kiss!
