Incisions

Jenna Fischer, who was married to Gunn at the time, was not originally part of the cast. The actor in her role begged to be released from his contract because he had an offer to shoot a pilot, so Gunn let him go rather than have a performer on set who didn't want to be there. Gunn swapped the character's gender and gave her a few more lines. By the time the movie was released Fischer had become immensely popular from The Office, so she was the one who went on The Tonight Show the night before the film opened.

When the zombies grab Starla from Bill's wrecked car, Bill calls "Carla, Carla!", instead of Starla.

At the very end of the credits there is an additional scene involving a curious cat and the remains of the alien slug creature.

The film was heavily censored by the CBFC in India for a 'U/A' (parental guidance) rating.
