1* DawsonCasting: As per usual for a film of this era, most of the teenagers are played by actors in their 20s. The most blatant instance is Gail Gilmore, who was 28 years old during filming, with Joy Harmon being 25, and Tommy Kirk and Beau Bridges both being 24.
2* HeAlsoDid: Jack Nitzsche, who scored this movie, would later score [[Film/{{Starman}} a much, MUCH better science fiction movie starring one of Lloyd Bridges' sons]].
3* ShrugOfGod: As noted on the main page, the fate of the giant cat [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse is unknown]] in contrast to the other giant creatures, either killed (the spider, the ducks) or shrunk back to normal (the teens). Bert I. Gordon officially stated even he didn't know what became of the cat.
4* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
5** The original script had one of the giant teens crushing the sheriff's deputy to death by stepping on him. It is unknown whether or not this scene was even filmed.
6** Originally the giants were going to party all night after taking over, the BadVibrations they cause wreaking havoc all over town.
7** The giants were going to be shown taking down telephone lines and destroying roads to cut off communications to the outside. Mike was going to attempt to escape and get help, only to be stopped by one of the giants.
