Nope, not even remotely close...there isnt even any atempt to hide the gay subtext in that one!

The lead role was originally considered for a classic silent film star, but after his death an unknown was cast instead.

- This movie was originally recorded in mono sound. At its home video release some 15 years later, a main part of the movie was redubbed in stereo.

- In one of the scenes in this movie, an object worn on the main character's coat is similar to what Nazis made homosexuals wear.

- The set builders of this movie forgot to put an extra door in the lab set, thus a main character had to crash through the wall for his entrance in this movie.

No country in europe likes many other countries in europe, pretty much everyone hates England, and England hates everyone back.
