** It shouldn't be surprising that Creator/DonaldPleasence once declared this the worst movie he was ever part of (which is saying a lot, because he was also the villain in ''Film/WarriorOfTheLostWorld'' and also did a Mexican-shot comedy called ''Frankenstein's Great Aunt Tillie'' where he plays Victor Frankenstein... Miguel Angel Fuentes also turns up (yep, Vadinho himself) as Frankenstein's monster. Creator/ZsaZsaGabor is also in it. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, we're not kidding.]] You can see the whole film on Website/{{YouTube}}.
** Walter George Alton, who played Tony Farms/Puma Man, loathes being reminded of that role and would just like to be left alone to his law practice. Though he finally did talk about it in 2022, during [=MST3K's=] "A Tribute to Pumaman" on the Gizmoplex.
** Director Alberto De Martino even hates the film, declaring it as "the only pic I did wrong in my career".

* CreatorKiller: This was first of four films that would ultimately end Alberto De Martino's career as a film director.
* FollowTheLeader: This movie was made to cash in on the success of ''Film/SupermanTheMovie''. Needless to say, it also convinced Walter George Alton (who had a few minor acting roles before this) to quit his acting career and return to practicing law.
