Quotes:

-
Suicide: You think this is a fuckin' costume? This is a *way of life!*
-
Ernie Kaltenbrunner: What the hell is in those bags?
Burt Wilson: Rabid weasels.
Ernie Kaltenbrunner: What? What the hell are you doing with a bunch of rabid weasels?
Burt Wilson: That's what I was trying to explain to you, they came in as part of a shipment. Of course, they weren't supposed to be rabid.
-
Trash: Have you ever fantasized about being killed?
-
Burt Wilson: I thought you said that if we destroyed the brain, it would die.
Frank: It worked in the movie!
Burt Wilson: Well it ain't working now Frank.
Freddy: You mean the movie lied?
-
Trash: Do you ever wonder about all the different ways of dying? You know, violently? And wonder, like, what would be the most horrible way to die?
Spider: I try not too think about dying too much.
Trash: Mm. Well for me, the worst way would be for a bunch of old men to get around me, and start biting and eating me alive.
Spider: I see.
Trash: First, they would tear off my clothes...
Chuck: Hey, somebody get some light over here, Trash is taking off her clothes again.

Trivia:
|
- The nuclear cannon at the end of the film was actually a WWII German Howitzer.
- The eye-test poster (seen most clearly after Frank and Freddy run into Burt's office after hearing the first re-animated cadaver) in Burt's office actually reads "Burt is a slave driver" if you put the letters together.
- Jewel Shepard originally took the role of "Trash", but declined the part after she found out what the wardrobe (or lack there of!) consisted of, So the role was assumed by Linnea Quigley, who became a B-Flick "Scream Queen" mostly because of this movie.
- Tobe Hooper was originally slated to direct and it was supposed to be filmed in 3-D.
- Dan O'Bannon purposely named the Burt (Clu Gulager) and
Ernie (Don Calfa) characters after the Sesame Street characters of the same name.
