Trivia
The film's working title was "Franklin", after American statesman Benjamin Franklin who was a resident of Philadelphia (where the film is set).
Quotes
Mr. Sivana:
Thad... I said no toys at Grandfather's.
Thaddeus Sivana (1974):
But it's Christmas.
Goofs
The wizard imbues Billy with several superhuman powers, yet Shazam clearly lacks some of them at certain times. For example, Shazam is clearly lacking the "courage of Achilles" when he first encounters Dr. Sivana and wants to run from him rather than fight him.
Crazy Credits
SPOILER: There is a scene in the closing credits: An imprisoned Dr Sivana meets up with the alien worm Mister Mind, who proposes an alliance.
