What's left behind the scenes
- By agreement with George Lucas, it was decided not to show laser beams on the screen when using blasters. The audience only saw a flash and immediately – the result of the shot. The laser action or light trail was only noticeable when the action took place directly in outer space.
- The original spaceship model, restored and put on display at “Universal Studios” several years after the completion of filming of “Battlestar Galactica” (1978), was stolen and never seen again.
- Muffit was played by a chimpanzee (which was noticeable in its movements). The animal was owned by Ralph Helfer, an animal behaviorist and author of several books about animals.
- Mickey S. Michaels, who was responsible for set decoration, contacted “Tektronix, Inc.” and they, in exchange for a mention in the credits, donated computer equipment worth $3 million and monitors worth around $35,000 at the time to the project’s creators for use in the Galactica bridge set and other sets.
- It was shown in theaters equipped with the 'Sensurround' system in 1979. This system added sound effects in the extended bass range, and thus, low-frequency sounds were more felt than heard by viewers. The same system was used for the screening of four other films by 'Universal Pictures': 'Earthquake' (1974, Mark Robson), 'Midway' (1976, Jack Smight), 'Rollercoaster' (1977, James Goldstone), and the television film 'Battlestar Galactica: Attack of the Cylons' (1979, Vince Edwards, Christian I. Nyby II).
- Terry Carter was initially cast as Lieutenant Boomer, but the actor broke his leg, and producer Glen A. Larson gave him another role – a colonel (which did not involve the same physical demands as the role of Boomer). Throughout the film, Carter's colonel is shown with a broken leg in a cast.
- After the sudden attack by the Cylons on Commander Adama's home planet, an image of his wife, Ila, is shown on screen. Sophia Loren served as the model for the image.
- The original model of the spaceship, restored and put on display at "Universal Studios" several years after the completion of filming of "Battlestar Galactica" (1978), was stolen and never seen again.
- In 1979, it was shown in cinemas equipped with the "Sensurround" system. This system added expanded range bass sound effects, and thus, low-frequency sounds were more felt than heard by viewers. The same system was used for the screening of four other films by "Universal Pictures": "Earthquake" (1974, Mark Robson), "Midway" (1976, Jack Smight), "Roller Coaster" (1977, James Goldstone), and the television film "Battlestar Galactica: The Cylons Strike" (1979, Vince Edwards, Christian I. Nyby II).
