Trivia	The scene where Ugly hatches out of his egg and jumps onto Ratso's head is a shot-for-shot parody of the scene in Alien (1979) where the Facehugger jumps out of its egg and latches onto Kane's face. See more »
Goofs	In the credits where they list the songs and artists they have "Kieth Richards", it should be "Keith Richards". See more »

Quotes	[from trailer] Ratso: My name is Ratso! Baby Ugly: Mama! Ratso: Ratso! Baby Ugly: Mama! Ratso: [shouting] Say Ratso, damn it! Baby Ugly: Damn it! [Ratso groans, Baby Ugly repeats "Damn it!" several times] See more »
