In one scene Otto wants access to a premiere but gives the required password "The Magnificent Seven" to the wrong person, who dryly responds: "Come back when you're with the other six dwarfs." Otto Waalkes went on to star in two "7 Zwerge" (7 Dwarves) movies.
Georg Blumensaat, who played Amboss, had his voice overdubbed by another actor. His real voice can be heard very briefly near the end of the film after Otto "cured" him.
