- New Line had to pay $3 million more than it expected to in order to keep the series in the studio fold after Dimension Films made a pricey deal with original rights holders Tobe Hooper, Kim Henkel and Robert Kuhn.
- Whitney Able was considered for the role of Bailey.
- During filming, R. Lee Ermey was called away to his mother's death bed. For the remainder of the time, filming was done around his character.
- Producers Andrew Form and Bradley Fuller decided not to make a sequel to the 2003 movie. But the fans kept coming to them, asking how the family got that way and wanting to know the unanswered questions in the 2003 version. And after a meeting with Michael Bay, they let Sheldon Turner write the script and they were prepared to make it.
- According to producer Brad Fuller, the film was given an NC-17 by the MPAA, and a total of 17 scenes had to be edited in order to get an R rating.
