Copyright Issues
The film's title screen copyright notice had an error with the Roman numerals, showing it is Copyright "MCMDXXVI" (2426 AD), or 450 years later than the intended date. The "D" (500) should have been an "L" (50). Under American law this would have invalidated the Copyright entirely and placed the film in the public domain. However as an Australian film, Australian law is unclear how the film is considered.

Famous quotes containing the word issues:
“The hard truth is that what may be acceptable in elite culture may not be acceptable in mass culture, that tastes which pose only innocent ethical issues as the property of a minority become corrupting when they become more established. Taste is context, and the context has changed.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
