- GoofsIn the very last scene, Phil Silvers does a karate chop on the cereal table at the weight contest. A split second before he "chops" the table, he turns his hand downward and instead slaps the table. They try to hide this with a cereal box, but you can still see the error.
- Quotes
Mercedes: Professor Quigley's here to pick up his severence check.
Dean Higgins: Professor Quigley, hmm? Well you inform Professor Quigley that we don't give out severence checks anymore.
Mercedes: But we always give out severance checks.

- Crazy creditsAfter Dexter Riley lifted the 1111 pound barbell, as Medfield College defeated State College Phil Silvers's character, Kirwood Krinkle, left the Medfield team celebrating and in another room he tried a karate chop on a metal statue. As soon as his hand hits the statue, filming stops. Then he appears in extreme pain, mouth wide open as if screaming OUCH! With his open mouth and still photograph, the words "The End" appear, after which the closing credits begin.

Featured review
Farewell Medford College
Dexter, Dean Higgins, the kooky science department at Medford College, and A. J. Arno are back for a third and final time in Disney's The Strongest Man in the World. One of my favorite elements of these movies are the time capsules of the hair and fashions of the time period. In this one, 1975 is preserved for all time. The long sideburns and shaggy hair on the men, the bellbottom jeans on the women, and the funky music are fun to watch for those who want a history lesson - and for those who want to go down memory lane.
In a freak accident, Kurt Russell and Michael McGreevey create a miracle vitamin formula in the college laboratory. Whoever eats the magical cereal gets super-human strength. Dean Higgins (Joe Flynn), the CEO of the cereal company (Eve Arden), and Professor Quigley (William Schallert) are all a bit skeptical until they see the results with their own eyes. Once again, it's off to another college competition to gain funding for the science department. And once again, A. J. Arno (Cesar Romero) gets released from jail with his trusty sidekick (Dick Bakalyan) ready to thwart the college kids' master plan.
This fun for the whole family flick has lots of laughs, although it is a bit dated. But if you liked the first two, you owe it to Disney to finish the trilogy with the last one. We'll miss you Medford College!
