The film was notable at the time for the depiction of the dragon. This several metres long prop was created by Carlo Rambaldi, launching Rambaldi's career as a creature designer. Years later, Rambaldi moved to Hollywood, working in such films as King Kong (1976), Alien (1979), E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), Dune (1984) or Conan the Destroyer (1984), among others.
