Quotes
Judy:
She's a real carpenter's dream: flat as a board and needs a screw!
Goofs
When the boy is under the canoe, it is unusually light. It is night-time, so it should have been pitch black when he was under the canoe.
Crazy Credits
At the end when all the credits are finished, the freeze-frame of Angela stays onscreen for about 10 more seconds.
Alternate Versions
The version re-released by Anchor Bay in 2000 is cut in the following places. the old Media Video and Video Treasures releases are the most complete versions other than the 2014 DVD and Blu-ray sets released by Scream Factory/Shout! Factory.
- In the prank scene in which Mozart's face hits the kid's naked buttocks, the slap sound effect is missing and then his you-guys-are-gross line is out of sync with his lips.
- A shot of the naked guys running down the dock is completely missing replaced by a weird over-dubbed cat howl.
- The water-snake slithering out of Kenny's mouth is cut drastically to the point where you only see the final few frames of the shot after the snake has emerged.
- After Mel accosts the guys for throwing water balloons at Angela, and Ricky and Paul tend to her, a shot of the guy's reaction to Mel leaving is cut, where one calls him a wrinkled old dick.
- After Ricky sticks his finger up at Judy and walks off, a shot of Judy coming back with "Same to you!" is gone.
- Many frames of Meg's corpse on the bathroom floor are cut, and Mel's reaction is cut up too: "He did it" should be followed by "to get back at me!"
