Trivia
Mad Man Herman (Marvin Kaplan) makes a joke about "Disney's Beauty and Obese" a good 18 years before the Disney film Kaunotar ja hirviö (1991) was released.

Quotes
Jeff: If there's anything we can do...
Doctor's wife: Can you get his arm back?

Alternate versions
A heavily edited, 89-minute version was released in 1985 on video by "The Congress Video Group" in which all the gore has been completely and haphazardly edited out. The only exceptions are the two scenes in the beginning involving when the cadaver arm was being sawed off, although the sawing noises were removed, and when Paul Carr opens the package containing it.

its really not that bad

although the movie's acting and directing were very amateur, the plot was an amazing concept. the films script was cheesy, but the story in general was genius. the whole time watching the film, i was thinking to myself that if this movie had th chance, it could be very good. again, its not the story that was bad, it was the acting and directing. i mean if u look a the basic idea, a group of people stuck in a cave, fighting one another for each others flesh, thats a winning plot right there, just ready for any big time producer to bite into. if this move is redone today, with a larger budget and a better cast and crew, this could be a very popular film. too bad it just wasn't done right the first time around.
