In a 2013 interview with Scuzz, Jonathan Davis revealed that "Got The Life" originally contained an audio sample at the very beginning - a piece of dialogue spoken by actor Dom DeLuise in the 1974 film Blazing Saddles.
After his acting roles ended, Stader continued performing stunts into the 1980s, having worked on such other films as Repossessed, Demetrius and the Gladiators, Giant, Our Man Flint, Tobruk, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, Blazing Saddles, The Great Waldo Pepper, Beyond the Poseidon Adventure, and a 1985 television movie of Alice in Wonderland.
As a curiosity, there is a Mel Brooks cameo in this film, who made a number of well regarded parodies (Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Spaceballs).
