Trivia
The killing of the reporter was difficult to shoot, because a real knife was used albeit nobody got hurt, Juan was a little bit worried. But it was the editing and the post-production which made the scene so brutal; the actress couldn't take the scene at the premier of the movie, and she left the auditorium when her death came onscreen.
Quotes
Timmy Weldon:
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king's horses and all the king's men. Couldn't put the pieces together again.
Goofs
(at around 1h 1 min) Before the fifth victim is killed, the close up of the stall door getting chainsawed shows some dim lines or marks (when the chainsaw is) to cut the door downward.
Alternate Versions
Available in an R-rated version with alternate footage and brief omissions of gore: includes black underwear on the skinny dipping scene, a less gory shot to the Dean's head at the end and the gore omission is in the elevator with a shot of the left arm being sliced off.
