Their scene also includes a humorous disclaimer: "None of the characters appearing in this photoplay resemble any persons living or dead ... since they do not yet exist!"; however, this is contrary to the puppets being modeled after 1960's celebrities. The bands present in the credits are believed to be HMRMB Portsmouth and Plymouth (based at HMS Nelson and HMS Raleigh, respectively), two of the five bands of Royal Marines based in Britain (the other three are HMRMB Scotland, HMS Collingwood and Commando Training Centre Royal Marines (based at HMS Caledonia, HMS Collingwood and Commando Training Centre Royal Marines, respectively)).
