- The name of the character Major-Domo is Spanish or Italian for Butler (written as Mayordomo and Maggiordomo, respectively).
- In the exact opposite of this film's backstory of the cat loving evil Kobayashi dynasty, historically there was actually a Japanese Shogun known for his love of dogs. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi (1646 - 1709) was known for instituting animal protection laws, particularly for dogs. This earned him the nickname of "the dog shogun".
- In the scene where Tracy continues her investigation into the suspicious death of Professor Watanabe, she confronts a devastated Yoko to confirm that the cure exists. The song playing in the background is Tokyo Shoe Shine Boy, which was also used prominently in the movie version of M.A.S.H.
- The trailer features the song is "Midnight Sleigh Ride" by a '50s band named Sauter-Finegan.
- All the shots in the movie have straight on camera angle, either horizontal or vertical as it moves only 90 degrees. Also, all the buildings, characters are viewed from either straight on, side on or above.
