Trivia

• The burglars who rob the gas station are named Marv, Stan and Lee, which is a nod to Marvel creator Stan Lee. Coincidentally, Sam Raimi, who produced this film, directed three Spider-Man films.
• The action scenes draw heavily from Jurassic Park (1993). The alligators are said to have vision based on movement, just like the T-Rex, so at different times the protagonists can escape detection by standing still.
• The alligators are shown to hunt in threes, with one distracting from the front whilst the other two swoop in from the sides, just like the velociraptors.
• The main action takes place during a hurricane.
• While Hayley is driving the camera shows a shark with a victim in its mouth. This is a nod to Jaws (1975).
• It is a Category 5 Hurricane, 'Wendy' in Coral Lake, Florida.
• To simulate the CGI alligators, scenes varied between Serbian stuntmen wearing green spandex suits, divers recreating alligator movements underwater, the director holding a pole attached to a pillow wrapped in green fabric and actors reacting to fake alligator heads on sticks.
• April 2021, Aja revealed that a screenplay was, in fact, being written for a potential sequel but that he could not disclose any more information.
