When the Shoshone chief Sly Slimy asks to dig up the war tomahawk, one of his assistants tells him in a fictional "Apache dialect" that the tomahawk broke because they bought a cheap, low-quality one. The last word he says in this "dialect" is "Chibo." In reality, "Chibo" is a popular chain of stores in Germany known for selling everyday goods at affordable prices.
When Abahachi shows the Ranger photographs from his past, he points to one and says it's his father. In fact, he's showing a photograph of the French actor Pierre Brice, who played the main role of Winnetou in a series of German films released in the 1960s. At the same time, Abahachi tells the Ranger that his father could speak French, and no one knew where he learned it.
In one scene, Abahachi plays a popular tune from the film "The Third Man" (1949). Paul Hörbiger, Christian Tramitz's grandfather who played the Ranger in "Manitou's Mocassins," played a role in "The Third Man."
Before the release of "Manitou's Mocassins," two leading characters in sketches on the popular German parody series "Bullyparade" (1997-2002) by Michael Herbig were named Winnetou and Old Shatterhand, as in the novels by Karl May. After the film appeared on screens, they suddenly reverted to their "real" names, Abahachi and Ranger, in the television series.
A special version of the film has a runtime of 100 minutes.
