公映後翌年,渥美清病逝,享年68歲,本片亦成為他的遺作。
Yamada knew before production began that Atsumi's health has deteriorated to such an extent that Tora-san to the Rescue would be the last film in the series.

Although the series must come to its conclusion, Yamada has deliberately left the film's ending open, so as not to let the curtain fall on "Tora-san". Atsumi Kiyosh passed away at the age of 68 in the year following the film's release, making this film his last.。德国巴伐利亚工作室将翻拍《从海底出击》。影片讲述二战时期,发生在深海U型潜艇上的惊险故事,原版由沃尔夫冈·彼德森执导,是影史上最成功的德国电影之一,它在当时获得了包括最佳导演在内的6项奥斯卡提名。目前,巴伐利亚工作室将尚未透露影片选角信息及拍摄计划。。
