    • Alternate versions
      The U.S version of the film (retitled "It's Not The Size That Counts") featured additional footage shot by the distributors. These included an opening scene showing a penis transplant operation and a brief scene where a dwarf leaps out of a woman's bed (she then says the film's U.S title). The dwarf was played by Luis De Jesus who was more infamously known for playing Ralphus in Bloodsucking Freaks (1976).

    A Limp Effort
    This sequel to Percy is a blot on the careers of all who appeared in or were involved in the production. This shows to what depths the British film industry had sunk at the time this film was made. What a waste of a fine cast.
