[quote:1e5cb]The film caused some scandal in Italy at the time, and had trouble with the censorship board. There was a rumor that the performers had really been slain, so director Ruggero Deodato had to take the actors with him to the set of an Italian TV show in order to prove that they hadn't been eaten alive.[/quote:1e5cb]

# The scene where an actor kills a monkey was shot twice, so two monkeys were killed for that scene.

# Though uncaring towards the nature of his film during shooting, Ruggero Deodato now regrets everything he did, mostly the actual animal killings. He said once that he wishes now that he never made the movie.

the scene where they grab the camera man and basically you see him get his dick cut off and then they beat and slice him apart was pretty fucked. let alone the rape of the woman in the documentary party that then gets beaten to death and beheaded

the main actor who played alan often thought he was actually going to be killed in the movie for real. he had fears of it during production, that it was a snuff film

also faye the female in the party actually wanted her and alan to have real sex for the sex scene in the movie but he declined because he was dating someone. she was pissed at him the entire movie.
