      • Trivia
        This was originally scheduled for theatrical release in the United States. The release was cancelled and the film premiered, in edited form, as a TV-movie on U.S. network television. This edited version became the U.S. version used for television showings and video releases.
      • Goofs
        When hit in the head by a boulder, the tyrannosaurus' head visibly dents and then pops back into shape.
      • Quotes
        • Wade: You told me! You swore to all of us that we were not going to harm the dinosaur! We were only supposed to take film and study it!
        • Thrust: You ding-dong!
      • Alternate versions
        The very rare Japanese laserdisc (released by Columbia) is in English, uncut (running 106mins) and properly letterboxed (at a ratio of 1:85). On the downside, their are japanese subtitles on the very bottom of the picture (not black bar area).
