Trivia

• On the initial 2009 US DVD rerelease of the film, the back of the DVD's case said it contained both a Japanese audio track and Japanese subtitles for the film. However, only the latter was true, as there was no Japanese audio track to be found on the disc. Later releases, starting in 2011, would remove both listings from the back of the box, as well as the Japanese subtitles from the disc itself.
