  • Creator Cameo: Travis Crabtree's theme song is sung by the film's director, Charles B. Pierce.
  • The Danza: Some of the actors share names with their characters.
  • Follow the Leader: There was plenty of bigfoot-related films afterwards, like The Legend of Bigfoot, Creature from the Black Lake and Sasquatch and he would increasingly turn up on TV shows such as The Six Million Dollar Man.
