- Awesome Music: Thanks to Bernard Herrmann. Mountain top/Sunrise would later inspire Danny Elfman's Batman (1989) theme.
- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Pat Boone breaks into song for no apparent reason, save for the movie shooting the money. That and the Shirtless Scene.
- Cargo Ship: Hans appears to have an odd relationship with his duck.
- Narm: Pat Boone's Alec shouting out "Hi-ai!" to alert his fellow spelunkers, just for how awkward the antiquated expression sounds to a modern ear.
- Special Effects Failure: Not bad for the time, except for the scene where they're carried up the lava tube. The beloved slurpasaur makes an appearance, looking much more realistic in its movements than any rubber monster.
