Filming
Three directors were credited, including George Gordon, Carl Urbano, and Rudy Zamora. Since Hanna-Barbera were partial to group crediting for their Saturday morning cartoon's entire season, it's unknown if all four of them directed the episode.

Music
The music is composed by Hoyt Curtin.

Behind the scenes

 * Ralph compares Hath's size to King Kong's.

Errors

 * For some reason, Cupcake isn't jealous of the romance between the Fonz and Cleopatra.
 * When Hath first approaches the gang, the first person Cupcake tells to be careful is the Fonz, despite the fact Hath first comes to Richie and Malph.
 * Richie's face disappears when he reacts to Ralph falling through the sand.
