Anecdotes
Due to the controversial lack of recognition for L'homme éléphant (1980), make-up and industry technological contributions became recognized by the Academy Awards in 1981. Make-up artist Rick Baker was the first to receive an Oscar in the new category. William Tuttle was the first make-up effects artist to receive an honorary Oscar, for his work on Seven faces of Dr. Lao (1964). At 31, Baker was also the youngest person to win the award, a record that was later tied by Tami Lane for Les chroniques de Narnia - L'armoire magique (2005).

Gaffes
Repeated mentions of werewolf attacks during a full moon are ignored when David undergoes his transformation on two consecutive nights. There is only one full moon during a lunar cycle. If the moon is full on a Saturday night, for example, it cannot be truly full on the next night, Sunday.

Citations
David: I want you to arrest me, you asshole!
Bobby in Trafalgar Square: There's no call for that kind of language.
David: Queen Elizabeth is a man! Prince Charles is a faggot! Winston Churchill was full of shit!
Bobby in Trafalgar Square: That's enough.
David: No! Let go of me!
Alex: David, please!
David: Shakespeare's French! Fuck! Shit! Cunt! Shit!

Générique farfelu
Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy star as themselves.

Autres versions
Universal Studios re-mixed the film's monaural soundtrack to Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS for the 20th anniversary "Collector's Edition" DVD, replacing the older sound effects and adding some new ones (see also Les dents de la mer (1975)).
Extra thunderclap sound effects were added in the scene when David and Jack are walking in the moors and it starts to rain.
The first werewolf can now be heard growling in the rear channels as it circles David and Jack. A louder growl has been added to the rear-left channel after Jack says "It's circling us" to make the audience jump.
All the gunshots and car crash sound effects have been replaced.
The train in the "London tube" scene can now be heard moving from one channel to another
Despite already being bad enough, the entire mix is inexplicably pitched down a half-pitch and sounds very different from the original mix.

Great film, full of humor and thrills.

One of the best werewolf movies ever made, full of dark humor and gory thrills. As most people know, this has one of the best human/werewolf transformation scenes in cinematic history! The only other movie to show such detail is The Howling. This movie is really fun to watch, and if you are seeing it for the first time you will be shocked at some of the things you see. Great performances from the cast, and an excellent script make this a memorable experience. Unlike monster/horror movies today, this film has no computer-aided special effects. It doesn't need them, for this is a landmark film.
