- When Lois and Jimmy first arrive at Dr. Ladislav's, he warns them that if he whistles, Superman will come to his rescue (fearing that they're kidnappers). Later, while driving through the desert, Ladislav continues to whistle so the three of them will be rescued. Then, when Ladislav finally drinks some water to be able to whistle, Lois asks Ladislav AGAIN why he's whistling, although he explained earlier. edit »
- When Superman is suppressing the atomic blast, they couldn't use the stock footage of him flying. So they shot new footage of George in which he is laying on a metal brace. When he flails back and forth you can easily see this. It's a shame they couldn't figure another way to do this as watching George Reeves propped up like this was not at all flattering to him. edit »
