Did You Know?
| Trivia | Peter Criss was dubbed because he wouldn't show up to do looping (re-recording lines in post-production). His voice was dubbed by voiceover artist Michael Bell, who did a lot of work for Hanna-Barbera. Bell appeared in Rollercoaster (1977) which has a main filming location in common with this one: Magic Mountain. See more » |
| Goofs | When Gene sets the mummy on fire, the flames apparently spread much faster than intended. The stunt man playing the mummy says "Shit!" as he stumbles backwards. It's a made-for-TV movie aimed at children, so the language was not intentional. See more » |
