History Trivia / CabinFever

** The awkwardness during the impromptu sex scene between Cerina and Creator/RiderStrong drew from the genuine awkwardness between the two actors at the time - particularly their involuntary bodily responses to the ''"action"''. Rider Strong reportedly said to Cerina Vincent, while the scene was being filmed that it was "Very Unsexy." Paul seems to have the exact same sentiments.

* BigNameFan: Creator/PeterJackson was so excited about the film, he screened it three times for the cast and crew of ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing''.

** Cerina Vincent's depressed demeanor during her final scenes (after Jeff breaks up with her) was enhanced by the filming conditions - It was well after midnight for most of those scenes and the set was freezing cold. As if that wasn't enough, you'll remember that poor Cerina was buck naked for most of those scenes. Also, she hadn't even expected to film those scenes on that particular day. Some accidents on set meant that the filming schedule had to be changed on the fly, meaning that Cerina suddenly had to prepare for sex and nude scenes she thought weren't being filmed for some time yet.

* ThoseTwoActors: Cerina Vincent and Joey Kern, the hot-and-heavy boyfriend/girlfriend duo from this movie reunited a few years later to play husband and wife in a movie called ''Complacent''.

* TooSoon: The audition scene for Marcy was the "it's like being on a plane" duologue just before and Paul have sex. Unfortunately the date schedule for the auditions was September 11th 2001. Despite producers trying to call them off, they went ahead as planned anyway.

* TheOtherDarrin: The initial dog hired to play Dr Mombo was too old and tired to perform many of the stunts, giving the filmmakers only about a minute or so of usable footage. With no time to hire a replacement, they used an actual police attack dog. It was so vicious, no actors could appear with it on camera.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Joey Kern suffered from repeated eye injuries during filming and had to get treatment, requiring several scenes to be changed around in the schedule. The leg-shaving scene and Marcy and Paul's sex scene were filmed during the night, using artificial sunlight. This gave the impression that the light levels are darkening as the horror increases.

* {{Tuckerization}}: The sheriff 'Frumin' is named after one of Eli Roth's professors in NYU.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Ironically in contrast to the above, Marcy was down in the script to wear a robe for the scene where she sees the hand-prints on her back. Cerina Vincent found the scenario unrealistic and volunteered to go topless for it anyway.
** Eli Roth was going to play Winston himself, but Giuseppe Andrews gave a really impressive audition. Eli then took the smaller role of Justin.

* AlanSmithee: Ti West was so unhappy with the FILM that he asked to have his name removed and replaced with Alan Smithee. Since he was not a member of the DGA his request was denied by the producers and he remains credited as the film's director. West has since disowned the final product claiming that it is more a product of the producers and executives than his own.

* BigNameFan: Peter Jackson was so excited about the film, he screened it three times for the cast and crew of ''Return of the King''.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Eli Roth had been shopping the script around since the 90s. Once ''{{Franchise/Scream}}'' came out, he faced executives trying to make the film more like that.

* SimilarlyNamedWorks: A lot of people were quick to notice not only how similar ''Film/TheCabinInTheWoods''' title and premise (at least what could be gleamed of it during production) was to Cabin Fever, but also how incredibly similar its original pre-release poster was to the Cabin Fever poster.
** For an added bonus, both movies feature former Franchise/PowerRangers - Cerina Vincent and Anna Hutchison. Both actresses are playing The Whore, both go topless and both die first. Oh and both were the Yellow Rangers too.

** Turned UpToEleven during the bathtub scene, as Cerina Vincent, once again buck naked on a freezing cold set was sitting in a cold bathtub full of goo and fake blood associated with her prosthetic makeup. While completely sanitary, Cerina reveals on the DVD commentary that it felt extremely [[SquIck ickky.]]
** Creator/JordanLadd's distress during her final "faceless" scene was genuine as she had just moments earlier seen herself with the gruesome mask on in a mirror for the first time and the sight reportedly drove her to tears.

* HeyItsThatGuy:
** Cerina Vincent, who plays Marcy was the exchange student from {{Not Another Teen Movie}}. She also was a Franchise/{{Power Ranger|s}}. [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Yes.]]
** The guy who plays Jeff, you might remember as one of the stoners briefly seen in ''Film/SuperTroopers''
** Creator/JordanLadd, who plays Karen, is the daughter of [[Series/CharliesAngels Charlie's Angel]] Cheryl Ladd. Anyone else see the family resemblance?

* HeyItsThatGuy: If you thought those puppies looked familiar, they probably are. Cerina Vincent, who plays insatiable sexpot Marcy was the permanently naked exchange student from {{Not Another Teen Movie}}. But [[FanService if you found yourself giving her performace a standing ovation]] in that movie, you might've been counting your chick-goodies before they'd flashed. Reportedly, Eli Roth wanted Cerina to show off her buns during her wild sex scene in ''Cabin Fever'', but [[ModestyBedsheet she refused]], because she was afraid of being overexposed following [[FanDisservice her extensive nudity in Not Another Teen Movie.]] So those few minutes we got of basically nude modelling cost her admirers everywhere a chance to see the goods in action. But Cerina was a good sport in ''Cabin Fever'' and treated us to a peep at the top inch of her butt, and even an extra topless scene that the script didn't even call for!
** Not just that, but she also was a Franchise/{{Power Ranger|s}}. [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Yes.]]

** A brief extra scene during the night before the final day. In it, we see that Jeff is now sleeping in bed alone and his girlfriend, Marcy, is now sleeping (fully clothed) with Paul. This alludes to a fight between Jeff and Marcy, and also [[{{Foreshadowing}} Marcy growing closer with Paul]], a plot point that culminates with their sexual affair the following morning.
