* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Sharon Smart, who plays [[TheDanza Sharon]], was only a child during filming, and hasn't acted in anything before or since this film. Despite this, she delivered an absolutely heartstopping performance during her death scene, where she screams so horrifically, you'd swear the actress was actually being murdered. Some adult actors have trouble with horror screams, but this little girl pulled it off with flying colours.

* CommonKnowledge: It's usually said that the pesticide that killed Sharon was weed killer composed mainly of paraquat. In the film itself, it's never specified to be such, only described as a poison meant to kill the rats.
