- Nausea Fuel: The film absolutely delights in showing just how bloody stone age life could be. We get a fair few close looks at primitive humans cracking open the severed heads of their enemies and eating their brains raw.
- Special Effect Failure: The low budget really jumps out in a few moments.
- The "wolves" shown are clearly domestic dogs that don't even look particularly like wolves. Couldn't they have got huskies or something?
- The bear can be seen wearing a conspicuous muzzle in quite a few shots.
- The chewed up leaf paste the neanderthal woman applies to Bog's wound is obviously guacamole.
- A real bear is used for most scenes but there is one incredibly jarring sequence involving a man in a very poor bear costume.
- The human skull the neanderthal woman finds in a campfire looks like a cheap Halloween prop.
- Spiritual Successor: To Quest for Fire. Like its predecessor, Master of the World is a gritty portrayal of early human life that foregoes the more fantastical and anachronistic trappings of older caveman movies. Interestingly, it's actually set centuries before Quest for Fire.
