    • Trivia
      When asked about this movie, Renée Zellweger said, "It was dangerous. I don't know if any of it was legal. It was a great workout. Running from a guy with a live chainsaw is excellent motivation. It was a lot of fun. It was my first role, really. I couldn't believe that somebody was going to trust me with that, that somebody was going to take this chance (on me). I was really grateful. I have no shame about that (movie)."
    • Goofs
      When Vilmer sets the woman on fire, the flame disappears then reappears between shots.
    • Quotes

      Darla: See, he put this thing in my head, and all he has to do is push one little button, and *pwoooh*!

      [sound of an explosion]

      Jenny: * pwoooh*?

      Darla: *pwoooh*! Blow my head clean off.

      Jenny: [laughing] There is nothing in your head!

      W.E.: Girl, you just said a mouthful.

    Trashy but good horror
    What's up with all you other people who made crappy comments about this movie, it was cool! It was fast paced and not slow and boring like Halloween. Get into the nineties people because Halloween did and as a result they made an excellent movie H20. Renee Zelwegger displayed her great acting ability and the character development of the script allowed her to be free with the character and really show her stuff. Ignore the critics and see if you like it, if you don't just stop it and take it back to the video store.
