Trivia
Professors Heckel and Jeckell are named after the cartoon birds "Heckle and Jeckle", created by US animator Paul Terry (of "Terrytoons" fame). See more »Goofs
After Lemmy has shot Professor Vonbraun, he runs down a staircase and throws open a glass door. As he does so, the reflection of the cameraman can be seen clearly in the door. See more »Crazy Credits
In the original version, the beginning credits flash one line at a time, each one scanning across the screen just below the last. See more »Alternate Versions
In the original French version, the voice of the computer Alpha 60 sounds harsh and throaty as if produced by belching. One English-dubbed version gives the computer a more typical computer-like voice. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

What can you say that hasn't already been said. The dispassionate pastiche that is Lemmy Caution. The lethargy is exhilarating at times. The photography inventive and startling. The sound design unique and ground breaking. The acting superb. The music fantastique! Love it or get out of here!
