There is a scene included that is not in the film. After the final battle, the Sorceress shows Man at Arms the ancient artifacts of Castle Grayskull and reveals one of the items as an American flag, meaning that Eternia is actually Earth centuries from now.

s
Frankenstein
. Victor cuts an executed criminal from a hangmans noose and uses the body for his experiments, as in
James Patrick Whalen Jr.
s
Frankenstein
. Another homage to Whalens Frankenstein: The Creature is reanimated with electrical charges. This is an invention of Hollywood; the book is silent on how Victor creates the Creature. Another homage to Whalens Frankenstein: Once the Creature comes to life, Victor triumphantly shouts, "Its alive!". The Creatures first spoken word is "friend." This is also the Creatures most frequently-used word when he learns to speak in Whalens
Bride of Frankenstein
. Victor uses the brain of a brilliant scientist/mentor for his Creature, as in Hammers
The Curse of Frankenstein
. Justine Moritzs role is also expanded and is made to fall in love with Victor in both films. Victors mentor, who paves the road for his experiments, brings a severed arm back to life and shows it to Victor, as in
Frankenstein: The True Story
. The Creature hides in some cottagers pigsty and secretly learns to speak and read from observing them through a peephole. In the book, the cottagers are foreign refugees. In this film, the cottagers are simply local townsfolk. This variation on the novel was first used in
Calvin Floyd
s
Victor Frankenstein
. SPOILER ALERT: Victor revives a mangled and hideous Elizabeth after the Creature murders her, and Victor and the Creature then engage in a battle for her affection. Horrified, the reanimated Elizabeth takes her own life. The same events take place, almost exactly, in
Roger Corman
s
Frankenstein Unbound
