Wissenswertes
The voice heard on the other end of the phone, when Chase eavesdrops on a phone call to the police department, is that of Ken Curtis, who served as producer on this film. He is more famous for having played scruffy deputy Festus Hagen on Rauchende Colts (1955).

Patzer
Chase is seen taking white wall tires off a wrecked car and putting them on his own. In the next scene, he has black wall tires on his car. The white wall tires change back and forth several times from scene to scene after that. (additional info) During the making of the film, several times Chase's car broke an axle. It was common for this car because of its high speed. Also due to rough country roads. This may be why the frequent tire changes noticed in the movie.

Zitate
Sheriff Jeff: I ask you what time it is and you tell me how to build a clock, just answer the question!

Crazy Credits
The title "The GIANT GILA MONSTER" is printed in letters covered with reptile scales

A Classic Monster Film From the PAST!!

Enjoyed viewing this old time classic film with the old Hot Rod cars of the 1930's with rumble seats and the 1959 Dodge car which the Sheriff (Fred Graham),"Mom & Boy",'72 was able to acquire from his town. Don Sullivan(Chase Winstead),"The Rebel Set",'59 helped the Sheriff try to solve all the strange happens with people and their cars, especially their Hot Rod leader. Lisa Simone(Lisa),"Missile to the Moon",'58 added some romance to this black and white film. This is one of the films that were made during the period when Monsters were animated and then magnified because of the low budget the film producers had to work with. A few of these pictures that followed this same procedure were: "Attack of the Crab Monsters",'57 and "The Black Scorpion",'57. If you like old classic films from the late 1950's this is a film to view and enjoy!
