Interesting Factoids

*Richie Franklin, the director, was actually eaten by squirrels just like 2 months ago. It was really sad*
*Squirrels can skeletonize a human in under 2 minutes when whipped into a frenzy*
*When squirrels have incapacitated a victim, they sometimes insert their ovipositor into the prey's neck and lay eggs in the chest cavity. While appearing to make a complete recovery in many cases, the victim is doomed, as a full grown squirrel will burst from their chest upon reaching gestation*
*Squirrels will not let go of a nut once they grab a hold. This can lead to many amusing antics with just a jar of cashews, some fishing wire, and a camera. After tying a cashew to the wire, trail it away over a branch and hide in wait. When a squirrel grabs the nut, start to pull it with increasing speed. As the confused squirrel begins to hurtle through the air at a fantastic speed, have a friend snap a picture. It is truly amazing*

 

Continuity Errors

After the opening credits Paul is seen reading a newspaper with a cover story headline about an "ATM Gunman". Actually in the 1950's no one could read, and passed along information through myths, song, and interpretive dancing*
