Goofs

Factual errors: When the tarantula is killed, the expedition leader says that a tarantula bite is lethal causing a 3 day fever and then death. In truth, tarantulas aren't venomous to humans. See more »

Crazy Credits

The ending credits do not actually state what the job of each individual was. Instead, it merely lists the technicians involved, which is why many have mistaken this for a cast list. This was because of the guerrilla nature of the shooting of this movie, which meant the crew positions were very fluid. See more »
