Beach Dickerson, a Corman regular, did quadruple roles...not only is he the fair-haired boy that drowns in quicksand, he is also the stranger riding in from the burning plains, the bear that attacks the hunting party, and even plays a drummer during the funeral for his own character.
Regular Corman thespian Beach Dickerson dies three times in the film, once as a cave-youth sucked into the quicksand, once as the man on horseback impaled by 'The Villain,' and once as the bear killed by the clan's hunters.
The Symbol Maker (Leslie Bradley) fur outfit is actually made of rug material and not fur.
This film was shot under the title "Prehistoric World." American International changed the title to "Teenage Cave Man." Years later, Roger Corman would be quoted as saying, "I never directed a film called "Teenage Cave Man."
