During the shooting of the last scene, the crew was stopped on 3 separate occasions by police wanting to see credentials and know what was going on. Apparently, someone had actually escaped from the nearby mental hospital. The police were alerted by multiple callers insisting that they had spotted the "escaped mental patient".
The opening sequence was shot on the bathroom floor of the director's apartment and originally had more gore when the victim is shot.
