Footnotes

During an interview in 2020, actress Dana Gillespie (Ajor) talked about how many fans feel her skimpy outfit and robust physique were highlights of the film. She joked, “Well, it’s mainly because they always seemed to give me the chamois-leather bits that Raquel Welch had discarded from One Million Years B.C. (1966). My costumes were actually much bigger than hers, she’s got the right shape for a bikini which I clearly haven’t, really. But if you play a native girl, there’s only one sort of costume you can be put into: it’s either bits of fur or bits of suede leather.”
