Trivia
Both Jennifer Lynch and Vincent D'Onofrio have stated they would have preferred that the title of this film be "Rabbit".

Goofs
When Bob freaks out in his garage after having flashbacks, you can see a male crew member wearing a baseball cap in the side mirror of the taxi.

Quotes
Bob: Without education, you're fucked. I mean, you've seen some things. I've showed you some things for sure, but you haven't understood them. You ever do a puzzle? You know the kind of puzzle that has the picture on the outside of the box? That's what people are. Pictures on the outside, pieces inside.

Crazy credits
The credits play over sounds of Rabbit in the house. There is no music. Among the sounds are what appear to be Rabbit cutting out an article for the scrapbook, exiting the garage, and leaving in the taxi cab.

Alternate versions
The throat slitting scene was originally more graphic, but was cut to avoid an NC-17 rating. It can be seen in the bonus features of the DVD and Blu-Ray release.

Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est.

Thank you Prime for the assortment of new and old films. I missed Chained until now for some reason...Vince D'nofrio is great as usual, and working with a pretty good supporting cast, led by newcomer Eamon Ferren. This is a good horror/crime story with some interesting twists and surprises. If you like horror/crime genre films you will definitely like Chained. The direction, script and cinematography are good, and superb at times. Chained is definitely a D'nofrio vehicle, so for fans like me who never tire of his acting, this is another special part for him to shine, and he does! A warning for the squeamish, some graphic violence scenes are gruesome, but not gratuitous. Overall, 👍👍 in honor of Siskel and Ebert.
