- TriviaToward the end of the film, Miranda Bailey hands Gina Philips the crossbow with a gentle toss. The first take was a bigger toss, and Gina got hit with the crossbow, chipped a tooth, and split her lip.
- GoofsAs the female character fights off the zombies attacking her, the camera shot from the second floor reveals the walls of the staircase are covered in red wallpaper. However, as her friends get into the house and save her on the same staircase, there's no wallpaper but blank walls.
- Quotes
The Sheriff: Now, hold it there, Doc. How can we be sure you ain't possessed? I mean, hell, I just shot you and you're still standing.
Doc Riley: Ah, well, you ain't got me but on my shoulder.
The Sheriff: I guess that makes sense. All right, why don't you tell me who won last year's annual cow chip throwing contest.
Doc Riley: What?
The Sheriff: You heard me. If it is really you, you'd know.
Doc Riley: Well, shoot, sheriff, that's kinda a trick question 'cause Lovelock ain't never had an annual cow chip throwing contest. Uh-huh. It alternates every year with the greasy pig catching competition.
The Sheriff: Ah, he's okay. All right, Doc, get your ass over here.
- Crazy creditsMiranda Bailey and David Carradine are credited in the opening titles, but their names are omitted from the credits at the end of the movie (which list the cast in order of appearance).
- Alternate versionsThe Unrated version is the director's cut that was originally given an NC-17 by the MPAA for violence and gore. Nearly 15 seconds was cut out before the film received the R rating, and these included shots of the zombie's partly severed head and more footage of David with the chainsaw in his neck.

I saw this film with quite a lot of expectations of it and was pleasantly surprised that it didn't let them down too much. That's not to say it is the greatest horror comedy, but it it really entertaining.
Caradines appearance seems to have more to do with having a famous face, than anything, but his appearance it welcome.
The "crazy" songs in the film vary from being a reasonable narrative device to being incredibly grating, but i guess in the spirit of how the film is presented they are okay. They could put people right off the film though, if they are too humourless.
So it's no Evil Dead 2 or Bloodsucking Pharoahs, but it a good watch for your horror fans and your non horror fans looking for a light horror romp to kill an evening.
