Actress Patricia Quinn playing a sorceress woman witch burnt her hand when too much flash powder was used whilst she was stirring the pot of her magic cauldron.

A number of story elements have been said to have been influenced by 'Star Wars'. The magical flying sword was called "The Power"; the elf and dwarf characters C3PO and R2D2 equivalents whilst Voltan's outfit resembled Darth Vader's costume. Moreover, Voltan's half-helmet has also been compared with the Phantom of the Opera's mask.
