• Hey, It's That Place!: Betchworth Quarry doubles for the planet Exbar.
• The Other Marty: Actor Duncan Lamont was originally cast as Ushton, and completed location location filming, but he then died of a heart attack before studio filming could begin, so the location scenes featuring him had to be reshot with John Abineri in the role.
• What Could Have Been: The crimos may be the remnant of an abandoned script titled "Death Squad", in which the Federation were experimenting on criminal psychopaths to turn them into aggressive killers.
