Notes[]
- This film was followed by Wizards of the Lost Kingdom II, which was used in Experiment #1111. The two are not connected by the narrative or the cast.
- Writer Ed Naha's recollection of the film: "I don't think this movie was so much shot as it was beaten to death. When they whittled it down to what was useful from the footage, it only ran 58 minutes. Now Roger had done a lot of sword-and-sorcery films, and so he told a couple of the editors to pull all they could from them and edit that footage in. So now the finished movie has a 15 or 20-minute prologue that has nothing to do with rest of the film!" This includes footage from Deathstalker.
