        • Trivia
          The birds in the film (referred to by one character as "buzzards") are actually American black vultures, not the titular ravens (or crows, in the original Spanish title).
        • Quotes

          Richard: Never, never will you fly from me, lifeless heart that doesn't beat after all I have such feelings for a dead robot, while remembering The past and all its love. Wherever you may find yourself I wish you were dead, my own robot, my own, my lady. Don't stare at me with those eyes of horror. You've thrown out my love for you to end us. You've torn yourself apart while in your fits of angry rages, the love flowing lifeless from your body. With these eyes of brightness which fill up the darkness, my own robot, My own, my lady, So I guess you and I will stick it out.

        • Alternate versions
          The English dub has the opening scene with a group of administrators censuring Frosta cut up and placed at various points later in the film.

        A must see (or rather hear)
        This movie is an absolute must see if only for one reason. The character Richard sings the coolest song ever recorded in a movie (not the best just coolest heh).

        Its an insane mishmash of love and hate and you really really have to hear it to appreciate it. I've never found any piece of music in any movie as humorous as this one unintentionally was. You can check out the lyrics to the song here on IMDb they are put down as a quote for Richard but it's much funnier to actually hear performed.

        If you're fan of Mystery Science Theater or RiffTrax I highly recommend downloading the RiffTrax commentary to go along with this movie it is one of the best movies for getting the RiffTrax treatment.
