* [[Sir Not -Appearing in -In-This -Trailer]] - Executive producer {{spoiler|[[Mel Brooks]]}} deliberately kept his name off the film, for fear people would expect it to be a comedy. He did the same with ''[[The Fly]]'', among other films in the early 80s.

* [[This Is Sparta]]: "'''I'''! AM NOT! AN '''ELEPHANT! I''' AM NOT! AN '''ANIMAL!''' I! AM A '''HUMAN! BEING!''' I! AM! ...a man."
