During the transformation sequences, Cringer says 'Why is it I never like this part?" According to the script, this line concluded with "...of the story?"
The animated sequence of Skeletor sitting in a pool of water was first seen in Return of Evil (1983).
The shot of Skeletor sitting at the far end of the council table was previously used in The Dragon Invasion (1983), with Beast Man, Evil-Lyn, Jitsu and Trap Jaw sitting at the table instead of Webstor and Kobra Khan.
Script was approved May 24, 1984 and final script revision took place July 1, 1984.
