Movie Goof (crew or equipment visible): Strings can be seen holding up the model of the bomber.
President Muffley (Peter Sellers) was patterned after Adlai Stevenson II, who lost two presidential elections to Dwight D. Eisenhower before becoming America's ambassador to the United Nations (1961-1965, dying in office), which was his position at the time this film was made.
There is a great deal of cutting in the sequences where Dr. Strangelove gets carried away in the War Room, mainly to cover up the cast cracking up.
When Strangelove talks about the doomsday device, Turgidson says, "Strangelove. What is that, German?" The reply he receives is "He changed his name; it was originally Merkwuerdigliebe." This original name is a slightly altered version of the German term "Merkwuerdige Liebe", meaning "Strange love".
