* BonusMaterial: The comic includes a pretty thorough story of the making of the original film plus some storyboards as bonus material.
* CreatorKiller: The failure of the movie tanked Brian Clemen's career in films. He remained mostly on television for the remainder of his career.
* SequelInAnotherMedium: While Captain Kronos sadly never got any film sequels, there was a comic book one in 2017-2018.



* StillbornFranchise: If the film hadn't been a financial disappointment, there were plans to do sequels with Kronos traveling the world (and even through time) to fight evil. Director Brian Clemens, in his DVD commentary, said that if that had worked out, he probably would've had to change the character's name to [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer "Captain Buffy"]].
