| Trivia | Mick Garris had wanted to get Frank Welker to do the voices of the Crites, but he couldn't afford to get him so he ended up doing most of the voices himself and hiring a loop group to provide additional vocals for them. See more » |
| Goofs | (at around 38 mins) When Lee's appearance is turned from being a 'Nothing-Face' into the Playboy centerfold model, a staple, although oversized, also materializes on Lee since it was visible when the picture of the centerfold was looked at, but when Lee's appearance changes from that of the model into the Hungry Heifer Manager (at around 50 mins), glasses do not materialize on Lee's face, even though the restaurant manager was wearing glasses at that time.
