Trivia

The issue of "Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man" that Jesse takes out of his comic-book box at the beginning of the movie is number 53, from April 1981. See more »

Goofs

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The Zombie shot in half had lost his hand in the car window in the previous scene. When he lifts his torso by his hands to attack the gang in the hospital cellar, his hand reappears for one shot. In the commentary, however, the director mentions that this actor was one of several used for multiple scenes. His description suggests that this wasn't supposed to be the same zombie from earlier.
