TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Some of the zombie extras were paid bonus to eat real calf brains in the film. Dan O'Bannon didn't want the actors to do anything he wasn't willing to do and ate some raw calf brains first in front of them, to show that he wouldn't ask them to do anything he wasn't willing to do himself.

On the back of Freddy's jacket, in the theatrical version, the words "Fuck You" are displayed. After realizing that the shot could not be used in case it was ever shown on TV, a second jacket was made that says "Television Version" and can be seen in the TV version of the movie.

According to Jewel Shepard, Dan O'Bannon met her in the early 80s when he was a member of a very ultra-chic and private club where she worked as a stripper. They became good friends because they had a lot in common and he bought her drugs. When he got the directing gig for this film, he wanted her to play Trash. But she was fed up with being naked on stage and in her small film roles at the time, so she suggested she audition for party girl Casey since she liked to party. He agreed.

The filmmakers had to get approval from Lysol to have Frank spray away the stench of death with their product. "They liked the idea that Lysol would kill any conceivable odor."

In an unprecedented move, a fan of the film started an internet campaign to get the movie released on DVD. Going beyond simple fan petitions, Michael Allred created a web page consolidating every bit of news relating to the film, and contacted many of the film's principals including the writer and director Dan O'Bannon. He went on to put O'Bannon in touch with MGM (the studio that owned the film) and work began on getting the film released on DVD. O'Bannon and others who worked on the film credited Allred and his campaign for getting the movie released on DVD. Also on blu-Ray.
