    • Trivia
      Sam (Bruce Campbell) describes Carter (Wade Williams) as the "guy who looks like he's made out of scrap metal". Williams previously played Ray Pearce, a man whose body was slowly turning into metal in The X-Files (1993) season eight episode Salvage (2001). (Campbell had also appeared on the long-running sci-fi show in season six's Terms of Endearment (1999) as Wayne Weinsider.)
    • Goofs
      When Carter is handcuffing Wallace, he whispers in his ear about the gas chamber not being in use in Florida. He tells him it is "legal injection" instead of lethal injection.
