Mer-Man's little lookalike allies were named 'Attack Fish' in the script.
The original script featured a confrontation between Cringer, Orko and a Werebear in the Haunted forest. A model for the Werebear was designed but never used.
An extensive subplot from the script was removed in which Kobra Khan defies Skeletor for not receiving his reward and is thrown into the dungeons next to Queen Marlena. Later, he offers to show Marlena and Orko the way out of Snake Mountain if they release him.
The animation of Orko's shocked reaction was first seen in Teela's Quest (1983) and will be seen again in Just a Little Lie (1984) and Bargain with Evil (1985).
