Trivia: There are 2 entries in the trivia list - like these:
- Many sources, including the DVD box, report an "Anne Casper" in the film with no role. In fact, the role of Anne was played by Kim Casper. Similarly, the box and some sources credit production assistant Nancy Giebink with a role, though she is not credited for one.
- The film was released theatrically in 1973 for only a limited time, as the distributor--Cinemation--went bankrupt during the first week the film was released. Only in 1988 did the film resurface on video, through MPI Home Video. Only this version has Peter Fondas opening remarks about the environment. Subsequent DVD releases do not include this.
