- TriviaRumbelow is seen wearing an Oldham Athletics Club tracksuit - actor Eric Sykes was born in the Lancashire town.
- GoofsDetective Inspector Hook claims that the poison was ricin. Ricin is so lethal that the fumes alone from tiniest droplet will kill 22 averaged sized humans that are in an enclosed space like the average sized warehouse. Had this ultra-lethal poison been actually put in the carrot juice, everyone on the establishment would have been dead within 90 minutes. Even where Det Insp Hook says that it had been syringed into the can, by the end of the scene, all three characters would have been writhing in agony on the floor, certain to die swiftly simply for having been that close to the can.

Featured review
A delightful British mystery-romp
Kill or Cure rates amongst my "Top 10" films. The dialogue is Brit-hilarious, and Terry-Thomas must be one of the funniest men who ever graced a movie screen. The best part, however, for this Peke lover, is that the real star of the film is a Pekingese puppy named Horatio who charmingly plays a pivotal role. Every Peke addict should watch this film. The director did an outstanding job in catching the true Peke personality on film. Horatio is a gorgeous pup with all the Peke "get up and go" toughness that one would expect from a Lion Dog. This film pokes fun at the British police, British class system, British health farms, detectives, and everybody and everything else. It is full of great wit, charm, warmth and intelligence. In short, they don't make movies like this anymore, and the world's much sadder for it!
