| 1 | * AsHimself: Averted in a roundabout way with David Ball, curator of reptiles and expert snake handler at the London Zoo. He's portrayed in-universe by Creator/MichaelGough, while the real Ball served as the snake handler for the scenes with the black mamba and had a brief cameo on set. |
| 2 | * CreativeDifferences: Original director Creator/TobeHooper quit because of "creative differences". The original cinematographer Anthony B. Richmond also quit for the same reason after ten days of shooting. |
| 3 | * HeAlsoDid: Screenwriter Robert Carrington also scripted the 1967 film version of ''Theatre/WaitUntilDark''. This was on the other hand, one of Music/MichaelKamen's first major movies. |
| 4 | * HostilityOnTheSet: While making the movie, Creator/OliverReed and Creator/KlausKinski absolutely hated each other. The jovial, fun-loving Reed would often provoke the intense, humorless Kinski into losing his temper (which wasn't a difficult task). The pair came to blows at least once. |
| 5 | * MoneyDearBoy: Creator/KlausKinski chose to do this film instead of ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' because the salary was higher. In his autobiography, Kinski Uncut, he also stated that the script for that movie was "moronically shitty". |
| 6 | ** The rest of the A-list cast in this B-list film (e.g. Creator/OliverReed) were almost certainly there for the same reason. |
| 7 | * RomanceOnTheSet: Actress Cornelia Sharpe and producer Martin Bregman were married in the same 1981 year that this movie was first released. |
| 8 | * SavedFromDevelopmentHell: This was originally set up by Paramount around 1977 with Creator/SeanConnery lined up to star. David Sherwin wrote the first script treatment. |
