Nearly half of the songs in this music-laden movie, including the title song, were written by singer-songwriter and sound engineer Chris Howard, who appears as himself and is backed by a band called "The Third World" in the credits (not to be confused with the famous reggae band Third World). One scene features bongo player Preston Epps, who had achieved some fame a decade earlier with his 1959 pop hit, "Bongo Rock." In fact, Epps is listed in the opening credits as "that Bongo Rock man." Another notable band member at the club in L.A. is Donald [[Donald Duck|"Duck"]] Dunn, later of [[The Blues Brothers]], on bass guitar.
 
Girl in Gold Boots was featured as [[Mystery Science Theater 3000 (TV)/Recap/S10 E02 The Girl in Gold Boots|a Season 10 episode]] of ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000 (TV)|Mystery Science Theater 3000]]''. Thanks to the more lenient approach of the network to the show's movie selections in the final season, it was one of the few Sci-Fi era episodes to step outside of the science fiction and horror genres.
 
Apparent skips in the print used in the television program led to some amusing continuity problems, including a scene in a diner in which Buz suddenly appears in his seat next to Michele and Critter as if he teleports in during their conversation. One DVD release (from MMI Image Entertainment, using a print from Geneni Film Distributing Company), shows the scene without the "teleport" skip but has its own continuity breaks, suggesting two different prints from the original film were used. Notable in part for being Mike Nelson's favorite episode of [[MST3KMystery Science Theater 3000]]. The episode also continued a mad scientist plotline for Pearl that was dropped a few episodes later as the show came to a close.

Line 25:
* [[Dull Surprise]]. Michele. Her idea of terror and worry is an expression of mild concern. Meanwhile, Leo's face has exactly one expression. His [[The Dragon|Dragon]] Marty has even fewer.
** Michele looks bored while dealing with her dad. And after.
* [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]: The "Eat" diner.
** Lots of old roadside diners have an "EAT" sign outside them to get motorists' attention, but what makes this one special is that the diner itself doesn't have a name. The place really is called "Eat."
* [[Fail O'Suckyname]]: Critter. The source of his nickname is even stupider. Michele is delighted by his nickname, but she's easily delighted.

* [[Trouser Space]]: Buz pulls a gun out of his pants that clearly couldn't have fit there, something picked up on by the [[MST3KMystery Science Theater 3000]] version.
