    • Goofs
      When Clark exits the hospital - after the doctor has cut off the gauze on his hand - he has a professionally bandaged hand again. No one put that on for him.
    • Crazy credits
      In the last entry of the cast list, the name of the actor and character are switched. Edward Gobel is listed as the name of the character and "tanker trucker" is listed as the actor's name.
    • Alternate versions
      The "R" rated version which initially aired on cable cuts some of the gruesome special effects.

    The Bite
    UK title - The Bite. A young couple driving across the American Southwest are warned by a gasoline attendant not to take a short cut through a former military testing ground. Naturally they ignore hit advice and the guy ends up getting bitten by a snake. Over the course of the movie he slowly mutates into a gross half man half snake creature. The acting is pretty good and there are some interesting characters but at the end of the day The Bite is all about special effects. Screaming Mad George provided them here, and does a great job. However, most of these come near the end of the film, it is a bit of a slow burn until then. I watched this on VHS, it is a classic example of great sleeve artwork, which entices the viewing to watch the movie, but ultimately the end result is not quite so great. Does have a sufficient amount of Bite though to make it worthwhile.
