* CanadaEh: Where to begin? The Germans complain about the cold weather; there's SceneryPorn up the yingyang, showing Banff, Niagara Falls, and the Prairies; there's a French-Canadian fur trapper who sings French nursery rhymes; the Germans basically travel all across Canada meeting Native Americans, Hutterites, and your everyday, average Canadians; there's a quick shout out to RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) and the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation); and last, but not least, Raymond Massey says Toronto like "Torrana".

** Probably the only moments of brief decency any of the Nazis besides Vogel get are the Germans not shooting the second officer of a sunken ship after he wrecks their propaganda camera during an interrogation, Hirth giving a dying victim a glass of water and telling his men to aim low while shooting at some fleeing Inuits, and Lohrman helping Vogel drag Kuhnecke to shore after the plane crash.

* SpiritualPredecessor:
** This film along with the Creator/ErrolFlynn film ''Film/NorthernPursuit'' can considered to be ''Film/{{Cliffhanger}}'' except [[RecycledInSpace set in WWII Canada with the Nazis being the invaders rather than Treasury robbers]], as they have a premise about a small DwindlingParty of terrorists stranded on a snowy mountainous terrain (which gets a dose of SceneryPorn) and trying to escape, while in the process being the HateSink group for their countless acts of KickTheDog cruelty to a point the audience would cheer for TheHero to put a stop to them. Hirth's actor Eric Portman even bares some physical facial resemblance to Creator/JohnLithgow, who plays the BigBad of ''Film/{{Cliffhanger}}'' Quelen who shares the same first name Eric with Portman, while presenting himself as an EvilBrit much like how Portman is a British actor despite playing a German. In addition, the plot similarities include the villains suffering a plane crash at the beginning which result in the death of the pilot (Kuhnecke in this film, Mike in ''Cliffhanger''), the sole remaining henchman selfishly turning against his leader after having enough of his bad leadership skills that led to his downfall (Lohrmann in this film, Travers in ''Cliffhanger'') and finally the main villain at the end getting his at a mountainside by being at the receiving end of a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown by a heroic underdog service character (Hirth getting pummeled by Canadian soldier Andy Brock in a train car as the goes back to Canada as it pass by the mountains on a bridge, while Quelen is defeated by Creator/SylvesterStallone as a mountain ranger in a brawl and falls to his death in a HellishCopter from the mountain cliffside).
** Interestingly enough, Portman would later play a U-boat officer again in ''Film/TheBedfordIncident'', which would be the closest thing to a spiritual sequel to this film, only this time to be set during the Cold War, with Portman's character to be a former Kreigsmarine officer-turned-NATO adviser. It is as though in the film, Hirth, after getting captured and imprisoned by the Allies at the end of this film, gets pardoned after the war, only to be DemotedToExtra in contrast to his leading role in this movie, but pulled a HeelFaceTurn (which can double as RedemptionDemotion) following the fall of the Third Reich, helping the government that was once his enemy and having become OlderAndWiser unlike before when he was rash and blindly fanatical.
