Did you know
ā¢ A typical Willis O'Brien touch - in a long shot of the cage descending into the cave, a tiny stop motion bat flies across the screen. Only O'Brien would add another day's work to a scene where it would be barely noticed.
ā¢ That giant worm with the octopus-like arms seen in this film is a prop from the unused spider pit sequence from the original King Kong (1933).
ā¢ As the scorpion attacks and derails the passenger train, the label "Lionel Lines" is clearly seen on the side of the locomotive's coal tender.
