** Trailer voiceover legend Hal Douglas narrates the opening.

* [[Novelization]]: Written by mystery/comics writer [[Max Allan Collins]], the novelization did a good job of expanding character backstory and tying loose plot threads together.

* [[Troubled Production]]: The ballooning of the budget ($100 million to $175 million) is the lesser part of it. The [[Executive Meddling]] made it even worse. The hurricane trashing the main set didn't help either.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: The film originated as a writer's pitch to notoriously low-budget producer [[Roger Corman]]. Corman turned it down [[Hilarious in Hindsight|saying that it would cost them $5 million]].

** The version that Universal ended up buying was basically a kiddie flick -- Enola was the main character alongside two of Helen's own kids, the Mariner was a human and largely a supporting character, while the early version of the Deacon can only be described as being how you'd expect the Adam West ''[[Batman (TV)|Batman]]'' series to characterize him. Needless to say, the subsequent drafts took the film in a very different direction.
