Quotes
Lewis:
You w- you wanna... you wanna talk about the vanishing wilderness?
Bobby:
Lewis, listen - what are you so anxious about this?
Lewis:

Goofs
When the men bury the first body, the man's chest briefly rises and falls like he's breathing. Later, when Ed pushes the second body into the river, the dead man's fingers adjust their grip on the rock, and his arms move slightly.
Crazy Credits
The end credits only show the cast and a notice of where the location of the film was shot and the special thanks, which rolls over a shot of Ed and his wife laying down trying to sleep. It also shows the shot of the lake where the hand ascended up out of the water and the final credit reads 'Distributed by WARNER BROS'
Alternate Versions
The scene in which Ned Beatty is raped, has been entirely cut for German video and TV versions in order to show the movie at prime time (which requires a rating of "12" or lower). Therefore, some of the following dialogue and subtle references seem to be incoherent. The German DVD version ("Beim Sterben ist jeder der Erste") is fully uncensored. (Warner Home Video; released on January 26, 2000.) Since 2005 the movie is shown on TV uncut!
