Trivia
For "Mant", the movie-within-the-movie, Joe Dante cast actors who had appeared in 1950s-era science fiction movies. These included Kevin McCarthy, Robert Cornthwaite, and William Schallert.

Errores
The Aurora model kit of "The Mummy" seen in Gene and Dennis' room was manufactured in 1963, one year after the movie takes place.

Citas
Gene Loomis: Y'know, it's hard to believe you're a grown-up.
Ruth Corday: No kidding.
Lawrence Woolsey: You think grown-ups know what they're doing? That's just a hustle, kid. Grown-ups are making it up as they go along, just like you. You remember that, and you'll do fine.

Créditos curiosos
After the credits are complete, there is a quick snippet from "MANT" with the Cathy Moriarty character pining, "Oh, Bill".

An under-rated gem

One of those films that deserved to reach a huge audience but somehow slipped away, Joe Dante's affectionate homage to creature features and B-movie king William Castle is a joy from start to finish. This is due to both Dante's direction - and obvious love of the script - and John Goodman's delightful performance (what was he doing in crap like "Coyote Ugly?"). Even the movie-within-a-movie - "Mant!" ("half man, half ant - all terror!") is fun. The only downside is that this rarely turns up on TV and hasn't been released on DVD in the UK. A scratchy vhs is better than nothing I suppose...
