Sequences that were cut from the original shooting script:
- After Queen Angella is freed, Hunga the Harpy is seen bound by ropes and hanging from a projection on the wall. When Hunga swears vengeance, Angella tells the Harpy there will be consequences if she ever leaves Talon Mountain again, and then conjures up a gag to muffle Hunga.
- Adam has to drag Adora into the Royal throne room, as she's afraid her parents won't recognize her.
- Hordak flies to Snake Mountain with the help of helicopter blades converted from parts of his armor. Beast Man and Trap Jaw see Hordak coming on Skeletor's tabletop view-screen and alert Skeletor, who is shocked to see his former mentor and orders his men to gather up all the Evil Warriors they can to stop him from entering.
- At the foot of Snake Mountain, Beast Man and Trap Jaw trap Hordak using a whip and waldo claw, respectively. But Hordak transforms himself into a top and starts spinning, yanking the two henchmen off their feet. He then cuts the whip and extender rod with spinning blades, causing Beast Man and Trap Jaw to fall into the mud. Next, Tri-Klops, Whiplash and Webstor charge at Hordak firing blasters. Hordak transforms into a garbage scoop vehicle, scoops them up and deposits them in the mud as well.
The full, original title as seen on the shooting script was "The Sword of She-Ra Part IV: Reunions". The unused part of the title is still spoken by the announcer (Alan Oppenheimer), although he refers to 'chapters' instead of 'parts'.
The room in which Prince Adam & Princess Adora were born, as seen during the flashback sequence, was first seen as Teela's bedroom in the Royal Palace of Eternia in The Starchild (1983) and will be seen again as Ariel's room at Castle Mystacor in The Anxious Apprentice (1985).
The animated sequence of Adam and Adora hugging is seen again in The Eldritch Mist (1985). An alternate version featuring He-Man and Adora hugging will be seen in Loo-Kee Lends a Hand (1985).
The animation model for Queen Angella was designed by artists Gerald Forton and Patricia Wong, based on various different concepts provided by the design departments of both Filmation and Mattel.
