Trivia
200 grasshoppers were used for the film. During the filming, they began to cannibalize one another, so by the time the last shots were done, only a dozen were left. See more »Goofs
Plot holes: It's never explained how the number of grasshoppers increased from a few hundred to endless thousands. See more »Soundtracks
