Did You Know?

Goofs

Factual errors: The swamp background noise instead of being NC wildlife is jungle noises - Perhaps the same sound clip from Cape Fear with Gregory Peck. Both were to have taken place in the swamps of NC - yet both sounded like something out of Tarzan. See more »

Quotes

Jim Gentry: Don't let it shake you Doc, it's just anatomy.
Dr. Saul Manfred: I never saw anything like it in dissection lab, though.
