Trivia

The club patrons in the opening scene were friends of the crew. They appeared because there was no money in the budget to hire extras. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: When Johnny sits and talks with Capt. Murdock in Murdock's home, directly behind the captain, stuck to the wall under a leopard's pelt, is a small photo of a seated woman. The photo is entirely unobstructed. As the scene progresses, the photo inexplicably moves several inches to the left, to where it is now half-concealed by the leopard pelt. See more »
