Trivia

During filming, Kenny Everett would often forget that his character walks with a limp, or limp with the wrong leg. Director Ray Cameron eventually had to stick signs up on the set that said 'Limp!' and had a clapper boy charged with reminding Kenny to limp before each scene.

When Michael McIntyre (son of director Ray Cameron) met Billy Connolly (husband of Pamela Stephenson), Michael brought up this film. To which Billy simply responded "Pamela's been in a lot of shit movies."

International star Vincent Price was visually emphasized on the American home video front cover sleeves in the USA due to British comedian Kenny Everett not being very well known outside of England and the UK.

Despite being third billed, Vincent Price only has five scenes.

One of the very few occasions that Vincent Price swears in a film ( he was renowned for refusing to use coarse language but relented on this occasion as it was used for comedic effect).
