Crazy Credits: We know about 4 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
After the credit that tells viewers to visit the "Stupid Teenagers Must Die!" web site, the next title says "Ask for Babs"...a reference to the "When In Hollywood, Visit Universal Studios...ask for Babs" ad at the end of "The Blues Brothers."

Goofs: We know about 1 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Revealing mistakes: When the monster attacks the ship at the end of the movie, you can see human skin where the costume sleeves didnt reach the gloves.

Trivia: There are 1 entries in the trivia list - like these:
The scene of the Cuban military officers saluting as the little boat they are floating in sinks was not planned; it actually began sinking as they were completing the shot. Roger Corman told the actors to stand and salute as the boat sank and filmed every moment, later stating that it wasnt very deep there. He also gave high praise for the Mexican actors that played the officers for taking direction so well.
