- A participant's wife was surprised there was no nude scene shoehorned in as in every horror movie; at the watering hole the hosts expected one, and the family shows no interest in Sally as a pretty young woman, in it for the love of the game.
- The victims are not killed because they are having sex but because they go looking for gasoline.
- Sally's plea at the dinner table that she will do whatever they want is flagged, though one host counters that she is trying to live.
- There is only one chainsaw death, Franklin's, with more hammer than chainsaw, and the actors got beaten up, Marilyn Burns above all, hit in the head with a rubber hammer, landing from windows and running through branches; according to Hooper, everyone hated his guts by the wrap party.
- The sound of the hammer hitting Kirk's skull returns whenever the participant cracks a shoulder.
