| 1 | * DescendedCreator: Along with serving as the film's co-writers and co-composers, Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman also provided the voices of the main characters. |
| 2 | ** Co-producer Jerry D. Good is credited in the movie as the voice of the "Transvestite Fag" character. |
| 3 | * ExecutiveMeddling: As noted below, Creator/RogerCorman forced the film's name to be changed from "Cheap!", because he didn't find the idea of calling the movie [[TakeThat "Roger Corman's Cheap!"]] to be all that funny. |
| 4 | * HeAlsoDid: Charles Swenson, the writer of ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTailFievelGoesWest'' and producer/director for ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/AaahhRealMonsters'' directed this film decades before the shows came to be. Many VHS releases for the film advertise this on the box. |
| 5 | * NoBudget: The film was produced for $110,000 with [[AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder much of the animation being done by director and co-writer]] Charles Swenson. |
| 6 | * KeepCirculatingTheTapes: It was released on DVD in 2001 and has since gone out of print. |
| 7 | * OrphanedReference: The film has several instances of what were supposed to be {{Title Drop}}s of the original title "''Cheap!''" |
| 8 | * WorkingTitle: The film was originally going to be called ''Cheap!'', and would have been advertised as ''Roger Corman's Cheap!'' in theatrical syndication. Corman, who was uncredited as a producer for the film, objected to the title, feeling that it was a harsh TakeThat towards his filmmaking techniques, and the film was promptly retitled. References to the original title are scattered throughout the film, to the point that the references could become jarring for anyone unfamiliar with the original title. |
