Did You Know?
| Trivia | The main set, Tritan Control, was re-dressed, painted black and used as the Ape Training Center in Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972). See more » |
| Goofs | In the fight scene between Adm. Matthews and Brett in the vault, Brett is thrown against a pile of gold bars, but the entire pile can be seen to start tipping over. Solid gold bars would be too heavy to be pushed over this way. Also, the pile tips without any individual blocks moving out of place, revealing this to be a prop wall, probably made of wood. All the other piles did not topple when pushed against. See more » |
