    Did you know

    • Trivia
      A sizable amount of the first segment was shot in director Jeffrey Delman's backyard.
    • Goofs
      In many of the bedroom scenes, daylight appears to be streaming in through the window. Uncle Mike previously complained how late it was.
    • Quotes
      • Uncle Mike: Once upon a time, there was a little girl named "Rachel." Actually, she wasn't all that little. She was a hot-looking high school senior with deep blue eyes, and fine, firm breasts and...
      • Little Brian: That's not the way Mommy tells it!
      • Uncle Mike: Shut up, that's the way I tell it.
    • Crazy credits
      Opening credits are presented as pages in an ancient storybook and it's being turned by a human male hand and it transitions to monstrous hands.
    • Alternate versions
      In the UK, approximately 29 seconds were cut to secure an "18" rating. These included some alternate shots of Goldi naked in the shower and a scene where she telekinetically impales a man with a pole.
