A special ink was invented primarily for this film, developed by famed chemist Dr. Samuel Zuckerman in an attempt to create a body paint that is long lasting, heat resistant, and sweat proof. Zuckerman is famous for putting the stripe in toothpaste. His son Roy Zuckerman took his body paints and started a Special Effects makeup company that is still in operation today.
