== Machete ==
One of Frank Zito's weapons in the film is rarely used machete. In the film it's mostly seen on the table until hallucination scene, where it's picked up from the violin case (same one used to held the shotgun) by one of the mannequins of killed girls with her scalps on it, and then used to cut out Zito's arm.
Interesting fact, that it was the same prop machete, that was used by [[Tom Savini]] in [[Dawn of the Dead (1978)]] as motorcycle rider named Blades.
