- A couple who are talking on the train near the beginning of the film are having the same conversation in English, then in German.
- The sound of the off-screen cat screaming when hit by a dart was director Mel Brooks.
- The howling wolf sound on the ride to the castle was made by director Mel Brooks.
- The cast and especially Mel Brooks had so much fun and were so upset when principal photography was almost completed, that Mel added scenes to continue shooting.
