Errors

 * Kiss' connection to the talismen is never explained.

Everlasting influence

 * In the Family Guy episode "A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas," the movie is homaged in another similar movie Peter watches called Kiss Saves Santa.
 * The film is used as a major source of inspiration for the 2015 animated direct-to-video film Scooby-Doo! and Kiss: Rock and Roll Mystery, where Kiss have superpowers again (which are revealed to be of alien origin), and this time, also have their own theme park.
