** Sam Raimi calls the film "a horrible, horrible, horrible, depressing scene" and the production process "really wrong." Notably, he didn't participate in the film's 2013 Blu-Ray release, while Creator/BruceCampbell (who is no less critical) did.
** This isn't exactly Creator/TheCoenBrothers' career highpoint, and it's usually left out of retrospectives on their career, even as it went on to influence later works like ''Film/TheHudsuckerProxy'' and ''Film/TheBigLebowski''.

As one [[Website/TheOnion AV Club]] commenter put it, "I can understand the producers going 'We're sorry, [[Creator/SamRaimi Sam]], but we can't cast your friend as the main character.' What I ''can't'' understand is that same person then turning and saying 'SOMEBODY GET ME ''REED BIRNEY!'''"

** Actress Louise Lasser spent most of the shoot on an extended cocaine binge. After firing her make-up artist, she insisted that she apply all her own make-up, despite objections from the cast. She would often show up on set with poorly applied "clown make-up" and messed up hair, oblivious to how she appeared. There were occasions when she outright refused to leave her trailer, to the annoyance of the cast and crew.

*** An argument broke out near the end of the post-production between Campbell and the producers. Campbell argued that he and Raimi had always been closely involved with their own films' editing, describing the behavior of the producers as "nickel-and-dime-bullshit". One of the producers replied by calling Campbell an "asshole", commenting that the crew had gone severely over budget. The difficulty during production left a negative impression on Campbell, who insisted that he never wanted to work with big-budget movie producers again, describing the conduct as "soulless" and "just a business".

** Raimi and the studio clashed many times during production. They rejected his original choice of leading man (Creator/BruceCampbell) and insisted on a more "Hollywood" actor in Reed Birney. Raimi retaliated by giving Campbell the role of Renaldo, and then expanding the character.
** The studio criticized the decision to use cast and crew members (including Campbell) as extras in several scenes, a Raimi staple known as "[[FakeShemp Shemping]]".
** During post-production, the studio replaced Raimi's music composer with one of its own choosing, then did the same with the editor, removing Raimi's influence over the film's final cut.
