- Monkee Davy Jones wanted to play his own father in the film and was offered $35,000 for a single day's shooting, but turned the role down after asking for twice that amount.
- George Stanchev was almost not cast as Davy Jones because his resume listed his height as 5'10", eight inches taller than Jones and three inches above the producers' height limit for the part; Stanchev called the figure a "wild guess".
