The stunt near the end of the episode (where Captain Marvel drills for water) made actor Jackson Bostwick severely sick. Recounting the incident in his interview with Starlog writer Kim Howard Johnson:

"The sickest I ever got was the time they had me hanging by my heels and spinning. I had given them the idea to tie my feet together, wire a cape so it was too stiff to fall over my head, start spinning me, then haul me up on a crane and just drop me into the ground. We could skip-frame it as we came down and it would look like I was drilling into this hole."

"I didn't realize that this was once used as torture! I was hanging by 500-pound piano wire and I would've gone head first into the ground if that thing would have snapped! Plus, I was spinning on it and it was twisting. When I made it down into the pit ... my head was just spinning over and over. The guy said, 'Great, Jackson, can we do it again?' After they ... spun me down again, they said, 'Can you do it one more time?' I said, 'Yeah.' I didn't eat anything the rest of the day, I was so screwed up. My dad, a neurosurgeon, told me later, 'All they had to do was spin you the other way and it would have straightened things out for you!' It was miserable."
