• There are a few short stories by J G Ballard from the early 60s that seem to have taken their titles from lines of dialogue in this film, such as the short story collection The 4-Dimensional Nightmare.

• A reviewer wrote: "For some reason the sound of jet engines are used throughout the film for what is supposed to be a propeller driven airplane." CORRECTION: Throughout the film the familiar rumbling sound of the aircraft's propellers is very clear. At no point in the film do the propellers sound like jet engines which would have a distinctively smooth and consistent whine.

• This low budget film uses stock shots of the aircraft in flight. However, during the flight, the aircraft magically changes to various models of the Douglas DC series.
