Quotes from

John: [George has just passed out from seeing the size of Ahme's hypodermic needle] Now see what you've done with your filthy Eastern ways!
Ahme: No! It is Clang, the high priest, who is filthy in his Eastern ways.
John: How do we know you're not just as filthy, and sent by him to nick the ring by being filthy when you've lulled us with your filthy Eastern ways?
Paul: What filthy ways are these?


Professor Foot: He's an idiot. Degree in woodwork. I ask you!


[Ringo is trapped in a cellar with a tiger]
Superintendent: Good lord, it's Rajah, the famous Bengal man-eater who escaped from London Zoo this morning.
John: Good Lord! So it famous is!
Superintendent: Oh, don't worry, he's absolutely harmless. All you have to do is sing Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" from the famous Ninth Symphony in D minor.
John: Of course! Why didn't you think of that you twit!

Facts about

The scenes set in the Bahamas and the Alps were written expressly to satisfy the Beatles' demands for both a sunny, tropical locale and a skiing holiday, respectively. Another reason for filming in the Bahamas was the tax-breaks it offered, and Cavalcade Productions was formed there to receive the Beatles' appearance fees.
In the beach scene towards the end of the film, John Lennon had an appointment and could not be present. Another actor stood in for him.
By Paul and Ringo's own admission, they were so stoned on pot the day they shot the scene where Dr. Foot and Algerman tried to blow them up in the Austrian Alps that when George screamed his line "It's an fiendish thingy! Run Ringo!" Both Ringo and Paul ran over the next hill.
