Trivia
Many fans were upset with the 2004 DVD release from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The cover was completely different, and a disco score played over the opening credits, instead of the original atmospheric piano piece. In 2009, Anchor Bay/Starz Home Entertainment re-released the DVD using the original poster as the cover, and restored the original music over the opening sequence.

Goofs
When the car flies over the drawbridge it sustains immense damage. The damage vanishes later.

Quotes
Virginia Wainwright: God, you've got a lot of nerve.
Etienne Vercures: That's not all I've got. Want to see?

Alternate versions
UK cinema and 1986 RCA/Columbia video releases were culled from a longer print with slightly gorier footage of the weight-lift and shish kebab death scenes. The DVD releases are the edited R-rated version.

A Party Worth Attending

I enjoyed this movie, but I'm pretty sure a few trims wouldn't hurt it. There are a few plot lines that seem to go nowhere and the whole thing is a bit too convoluted for its own good. It's nice to see Melissa Sue Anderson as a bad girl and slasher movie final girl all in one and the makeup effects are great. That ending is completely ridiculous and I loved every second of it.
