1* CaliforniaDoubling: California stands in for Mexico. In fact the opening shot of Guayjorm is the exact same one used in ''Film/WarOfTheColossalBeast''.
2* ColbertBump: The film gained some recognition thanks to Creator/JamesRolfe discussing it on Creator/{{Cinemassacre}}'s ''Monster Madness'' series.
3* DevelopmentHell: The film was actually made right after ''Film/KingDinosaur'', but didn't get released until a couple of years later.
4* EditedForSyndication / {{Bowdlerize}}: The scene of the spear going into the cyclops' eye was cut from TV broadcasts. The Warner Archive DVD-R restores it, though.
5* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The film was originally supposed to be distributed by Creator/RKOPictures, but that studio went under prior to its release, forcing the producers to go with Creator/AlliedArtists instead. Interestingly enough, some poster art and even a few release prints still feature an RKO logo.
