- Ensemble Dark Horse: Dora Bryan's Auntie Cora is considered by many of the film's haters to be the best part of the film, despite only having two scenes.
- One-Scene Wonder: Zsa Zsa Gabor as Mata Hari. With less than ten minutes of screentime, Gabor gives a performance that is camp, alluring, and hilarious, even Breaking the Fourth Wall just as well as Frankie Howerd does.
- Retroactive Recognition:
- Blitzen is played by Stanley Lebor, who would later be best known for playing Howard Hughes in Ever Decreasing Circles.
- Bob Hoskins makes his film debut here as the recruiting Sergeant.
- The newsboy is played by Mike Grady, who would later be best known for playing Ken Mills in Citizen Smith.
- A French Officer is played by Robert Gillespie, who would later be best known for playing Dudley Rush in Keep It in the Family.
- Mata Hari's maid, Magda, is played by Patricia Quinn, who would later be best known for playing Magenta in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
- Sequelitis: The series is regarded as a classic, and the first film is a decent enough adaptation. While opinions on Up the Chastity Belt weren't nearly as positive, this film was hated on release.
