The performing credit is listed as "The Wonderland Philharmonic". "Wonderland" refers to the house that Lindsay lived in at one time. Music cues from the original Lone Wolf and Cub films are also used.
- Samples from the film can be heard in The Wu Tang Clan alum GZA's album "Liquid Swords".
- Comedienne-actress Sandra Bernhard (then unknown) provided the voice of several of the female characters in the film.
