- Awesome Music: The film includes a full score by Kurt Stenzel, which often aptly mimics Pink Floyd and Magma, the bands that Jodorowsky tried to hire. Highlights include "Coming of a God", "Ships with Souls", "Total Extermination", and "I Am Dune".
- Heartwarming in Hindsight: His Dune was going to end with Paul being killed, but then transcending and making everyone around him the Messiah he was. Since the people who worked on the film's production would've gone on to use some of the designs and concepts for Alien, Flash Gordon (1980), The Incal (which may or may not have inspired The Fifth Element as well) and Prometheus, the fate of Jorodowsky's Paul can be seen (as Jodorowsky himself does) as a metaphor of his whole project: it died, but it lived on by influencing many other Science Fiction works.
- Heartwarming Moments:
- Shooting the documentary brought director Alejandro Jodorowsky and producer Michel Seydoux (uncle of Léa Seydoux, who would end up playing Margot Fenring in Dune: Part Two, interestingly) back in contact with each other and lead to the production of The Dance of Reality, Jodorowsky's first film in 23 years.
- When Jodorowsky is trashing the Dune that was eventually made, he adds this coda: "It must have been the studio. David Lynch is a great director, he couldn't have made that film."
- Hilarious in Hindsight: Jodorowsky had Mick Jagger in mind to play Feyd-Rautha. Feyd would be played by fellow rock icon Sting in Lynch's film and Austin Butler, who portrayed the King of Rock and Roll himself, in Denis Villeneuve's second movie.
