Trivia:
In the director's commentary, Charles Kaufman said that while shooting a scene Billy Ray McQuade (Addley) was so hung-over from drinking the night before that he threw up on Rose Ross (Mother). Naturally, shooting the scene had to be postponed. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When the girls are kidnapped and put in the sleeping bags, they are wearing night clothes as they were in bed. When the sleeping bags are re-opened in the house, however, they are now fully clothed (with one even wearing jewellery) with no explanation of how this happened. moreQuotes:
Addley: It's a beautiful day, you see? You see? You're all alone in the park, sittin' on a park bench, and you're readin' somethin' real good.Ike: Yeah, like a muscle magazine.

This movie is slow at parts, but when you hit 'Exercise time boyyyys!' you'll be glad you got it.
This is one of the funniest sequences i've ever seen. It shows the two brothers doing these completely ridiculous training drills, climaxing when Mother says to Ike - 'Get the big one!' and Ike then grabs a huge watermelon, hoists it over his head and in a fit of rage, smashes it. This is all to the tune of a B-movie horror rendition of the Rocky theme song.
I give it a 7 out of 10 A classic for B grade horror lovers
