Trivia:

Cameo: [Kane Hodder]The man who seizes Anderson right before the big fight between Anderson and Mayor Buckman (Robert Englund). This might be a reference to 'Freddy vs. Jason', as (Kane Hodder) played Jason Voorhees (in Friday the 13th VII, VIII, Jason goes to Hell, and Jason X) , and (Robert Englund) played Freddy Kreuger.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Professor Ackerman: Unprecedented, historical categories. More Americans died in the so-called Civil War than in the two World Wars combined. 618,000. Although popular media usually portrays the Civil War as a series of epic battles for honor and glory the reality is far from either. General Sherman's march through South Carolina alone cost over 8,000 innocent Southerners their lives.

After a run of awful remakes we have at last something that will go down in history as an all time classic!2001 maniacs is a non stop thrill ride and with masses of respect to mr lewis,tim sullivan has done a grand job.I am a huge fan of the original so was understandably a little apprehensive when i learnt they were making this movie.Believe me there is no need to worry it's an awesome movie!There are plenty of blood and guts to keep us horror enthusiasts happy and it is certainly comedy induced.When watching this i found myself enjoying it certainly as much as the original without any doubt.Whether it is released in the cinema uncut i do not know,my fingers are crossed! I wonder what could come next....possibly Blood Feast?I hope so.

Does anyone fancy a spit roast?
