Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the main characters are at the beach for the surfing competition, and the sharks break through the net and start eating the surfers, the woman says “Oh my God!” without moving her lips.

Trivia: There are 5 entries in the trivia list - like these:

• Dario Argento originally wanted the film to be a collaboration between four directors: himself, George A. Romero, John Carpenter and Wes Craven. Carpenter and Craven pulled out so Argento and Romero decided to tackle the project as a two-part story, each directing their own segment separately.
• It was Julie Benzs first acting role and the first feature film she starred in.
• Dario Argentos daughter, Asia Argento, dubbed many of the female voices into Italian for the Italy release, including Julie Benzs voice.
