Trivia
The famous Life magazine double issue devoted to films contained a fold-out cover showing studio technicians silhouetted against a blue background. This was Eiji Tsuburaya's special effects crew preparing a blue screen shot of Toshirō Mifune for this film.

Goofs
The film's co-screenwriter, Shin'ichi Sekizawa, is misidentified as the director of photography in the credits of the English-dubbed version.

Quotes
Sennin the Wizard: I can't help it. Whenever I see a shapely girl, I have an attack.

Crazy credits
The on-screen credits of the film's U.S. version, which was released by American International Pictures originally under the title "Samurai Pirate" and then again under the title "The Lost World of Sinbad", accidentally list the director of photography as Shin'ichi Sekizawa by mistake. Mr. Sekizawa is in reality a noted Japanese screenwriter who actually co-wrote the screenplay for this film.
