| 1 | * EnforcedMethodActing: The cast ''really are'' running for their lives when the tree falls through the house. |
| 2 | * InspirationForTheWork: The film was inspired by an incident in Jeff Lieberman's childhood in which his brother fed electricity into a patch of earth, causing earthworms to surface. |
| 3 | * ParodyRetcon: Jeff Lieberman claimed the film was a "goof" movie and when ''Mystery Science Theater 3000'' mocked it that "you can't goof a goof." |
| 4 | * StarDerailingRole: The only film role for R.A. Dow (Roger) and Fran Higgins (Alma). |
| 5 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 6 | ** Picture it, friends: Creator/KimBasinger as Geri. Creator/MartinSheen as Mick. ''[[Creator/SylvesterStallone Sylvester friggin' Stallone]]'' as Roger. It very nearly happened. Allegedly. |
| 7 | ** Lieberman's original script called for the movie to be set in rural New England. A combination of unseasonably bad weather and budget restrictions resulted in production being diverted to Georgia, necessitating a last-minute rewrite of the script. By that point, most of the actors had already been cast, hence the [[OohMeAccentsSlipping blatantly fake]] DeepSouth accents. |
