- Actor Allusion:
- Wade's reaction to Clint's plan to sneak around the infected.
Wade: You sneak around, huh? Sneak around like a little hobbit.- Also, for Clint, this is not the first time his actor Elijah Wood played the role of a protagonist having to deal with monsters that were also supposed to be people in a school (his character from the the movie The Faculty battling the aliens posing as schoolteachers come to mind).
- Also, Wade's actor, Rainn Wilson, should also be noted. This isn't the first time he played a loud, boisterous asshole protagonist who happens to act like a tough guy and who became an asshole for understandable reasons and eventually learns to be a better person as the film progresses. Or the first time he played a guy who kills his enemy with fire by igniting a trail of gasoline they're doused with.
- Dawson Casting: In reference to the Obvious Stunt Double on the main page - you can't hire kids to do the stunts they needed to do sometimes, hence you can sometimes see an older person as a child zombie.
- Diagnosis of God: Co-screenwriter and actor Leigh Whannell stated in an interview that he believes Doug Davis has Asperger's, to which Elijah Wood immediately concurs.
- What Could Have Been: The original budget-enforced ending had the group wandering into a seemingly abandoned Boy Scout camp in the woods, with them soon finding themselves surrounded by a swarm of the children. But then enough money was contributed to allow the shooting of the more elaborate ending seen in the final film. Although, this discarded ending does give an explanation for why the zombie virus became a pandemic. Happy Poultry Farms shipped chicken nuggets to other locations, like Family Fun centers and amusement parks. The packages very likely contained nuggets contaminated with the virus.
