Writer Bob Forward posed for various still photographs dressed as BraveStarr, including one picture of him leaning against a wall which was used as poster art.
After Tom Tataranowicz was given the job of directing this animated feature, the first thing he did was oversee the filming of live-action actors that would then be roto-scoped and turned into stock animation for the move as well as the series.

Prior to 2006, the film was never given a home video release in the United States.
