While the Pentagon cooperated in the making of this movie, it subsequently declined to promote it. In 1954 the Pentagon was prosecuting some GIs for "collaborating" with the enemy during the Korean War, and it may have feared that the character

3.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Prisoner of War (1954)?
a.
The name of the character Sam is derived from Samhain, the ancient Celtic festival of the dead from which modern-day Halloween is derived. Despite having been portrayed as such in this film and several other works, Samhain is not a deity or other personage of ancient Celtic polytheism; it is only the name of the celebration. However, the idea of being either a deity or other personage dates back to at least the late first century, largely thanks to an Irish bishop named Cormac mac Cuilennàin and his book "Sanas Cormaic" (Irish Gaelic for "Cormacs Narrative"), which had identified Samhain as such.
b.
On a converted parking lot at Shepperton, the film crew built an entire village of trailers where chemists and costume artists made neoprene-and-foam-latex Batsuits. The place was dubbed "Cape Town."

Press, 1994), there appears the following: "We will not print the proof (of the Snake Lemma) in these notes, because it is best done visually. In fact, a clear proof is given by Jill Clayburgh at the beginning of the movie Its My Turn."
d.
No female is seen or heard in this movie.

After a very mixed fan reaction and some harsh criticism received in relation to
Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead
,
Don Coscarelli
decided that he had already gone too far in the action/comedy direction. Subsequently, he wanted to bring the saga "back to its roots" crafting a low budget sequel more focused in the horror and surrealist aspects of the story, in the vein of
Phantasm
. At the same time, plenty of unused footage from the original film was located after having being lost for years. The conjunction of both things ultimately became the basis for
Phantasm IV: Oblivion
.
