Trivia
Since he was not able to actually learn pages of dialog in Italian, Gordon Mitchell admitted that he would sometimes simply recite bawdy limericks during his scenes. More appropriate dialog would be looped in later.

Goofs
The English language prologue spells 'continent' as 'continente', and 'gigantic' as 'gigantie'.

Quotes
[first lines]
Il padre di Obro: Hear me, my sons. My strength is wading now. My journey has ended here. Listen carefully. I leave to you all - but especially you, Obro - the duty of carrying out that mission our people are trusted to. On the other side of that mountain lies Metropolis, the city which has attained a terrifying civilization. You are to go and say to its ruler, and to its people, that they are wrong. They should never use their knowledge of science to defeat the ends of nature; to sew the seeds of destruction and death. They shouldn't try to change the natural order. Otherwise, nature will have her revenge on them. They are challenging forces they cannot control. If they continue, we'll have a tremendous disaster.

Crazy credits
"In 20.000 B.C... on the continente of Atlantis, now lost beneath the waters of the ocean, there lived a people who had developed an amazingly advanced civilization and who ruled all other people on Earth... Obro, a man born in the East dared to probe the mystery of the city of death. His gigantie strength and courage were pitted against Yotar, the evil King, in a struggle to the finish... ...When the scientists of Metropolis attempted to penetrate the secret of death, nature rebelled, causing universal destruction... ...love alone triumphed... ...and remained the sole source of life..."
