Context Trivia / Hatchet

Go To

1* ActingForTwo: Creator/KaneHodder plays both Victor's father and Victor himself.
2** Same with Parry Shen, who's played three different characters throughout the series, playing Shawn in ''I'', Shawn's twin brother Justin in ''II'', and Andrew the Medic in ''III'' and ''Victor Crowley''.
3* BadExportForYou: The Canadian government barred the unrated version of ''Hatchet II'' from being shown in any Canadian theaters, since every film shown in Canadian theaters has to have a rating. Those behind the film didn't submit it for approval. What's more, no harm could have come from rating it, as there's really no Canadian equivalent to America's stigma with the NC-17 rating.
4* BoxOfficeBomb:
5** ''Hatchet'': Budget: $1,500,000, Box office: $208,550.
6** ''Hatchet II'': Budget: $800,000, Box office: $156,190.
7* CompletelyDifferentTitle:
8** Brazil: ''Swamp Terror''
9** France: ''Brazil: The Legend of Victor Crowley''
10* TheForeignSubtitle:
11** Portugal: ''Hatchet: Swamp Nightmare''
12* TheOtherDarrin: In the sequel, Creator/DanielleHarris replaces Creator/TamaraFeldman as Marybeth.
13* ThrowItIn: Parry Shen came up with the magic trick in Shawn's introduction scene on the spot.
14** The psychotic laughter Marybeth indulges in when she [[spoiler:pulverizes Victor's face with his hatchet at the end of ''II'']] was ''not'' scripted, but it was left in anyway.
15* WordOfSaintPaul: [[https://www.dreadcentral.com/news/250752/must-read-texas-chainsaw-massacre-part-2-decades-silence-stretchs-fate-finally-revealed/ According to Caroline Williams,]] Amanda in ''Hatchet III'' is an undercover [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre2 Stretch.]]
16* YouLookFamiliar: A RunningGag, as Parry Shen plays a different character in the first three movies (he reprises a character in the fourth).
