Nancy Czar receives an "introducing credit
Arch Hall Jr.'s song "Vickie" was also featured in his film Eegah.
There are many props and posters from Eegah which also starred Arch Hall Jr., and was released earlier in the year.
When Bud is in the diner at the beginning, there is a poster for The Choppers on the wall, which Arch Hall Jr. also starred in. Another poster in the diner is for Wild Ones on Wheels -aka Drivers To Hell- in which 'Wild Guitar' director Ray Dennis Steckler had an acting role.
When Bud is outside of Dino's Lodge, he pulls out a comb and combs his hair. This is a reference to the television series 77 Sunset Strip. In that show, Edd Byrnes played Kookie, a valet at Dino's Lodge who was constantly combing his hair.
