** Infamously, the final showdown has the Mara, which has been possessing other characters throughout the story but not yet been seen in its true, allegedly terrifying form, manifest itself as... a giant, inflatable snake. Thesnake.DVD release fixes this by providing an option to replace it with a better-looking CGI snake.
** An additional {{Blooper}} that undermines the same scene is the way the Mara is supposed to be trapped in a complete circle of mirrors (the Doctor even shouts for the Kinda to close up the gaps) but there are ''painfully'' obvious openings in the ring visible in the wide angle shots.

* GeniusBonus: Christopher Bailey based this story heavily on Buddhist philosophy and used many Buddhist words and ideas in writing Kinda; most of the Kinda and dream-sequence characters have names with Buddhist meanings, including Mara (temptation — also personified as a demon), Dukkha (pain), Panna (wisdom), Karuna (compassion), Anicca (impermanence) and Anatta (egolessness). Additionally, Jhana (also spelt Jana in the scripts) refers to meditation.
