Maniac Cop 2

Trivia: Claudia Christian did not want to make the film and only took the job for the paycheck. Reportedly, she frequently got into fights with the director and other cast members, threw a tantrum when she found out she didn't have the biggest trailer, refused to shoot certain scenes, and would often refuse to take direction. She also hadn't disclosed that she was pregnant at the time to the producers, and as a result suffered a miscarriage while filming a strenuous stunt scene. Since she hadn't disclosed the pregnancy, the producers were not held liable for the incident. They reluctantly allowed her to return to the film with the condition that they wouldn't sue her for the monetary losses she had cost the production, amounting to around $200,000.

Trivia: Director William Lustig reportedly told investors that Robert Davi was the star of the film to get them interested in the movie... before Davi had even been cast. Luckily, Davi subsequently agreed to be in the film.

Trivia: (Spoilers) Despite his prominent billing, Bruce Campbell only appears on-screen in three minutes of new footage before he's killed off.

Trivia: It took three full days to shoot the scene where Cordell is engulfed in flames and rampages through the prison.

TedStixon

Factual error: The blonde cop is thrown into a hardware store. She then grabs a brand new, shiny chainsaw that was sitting on a cardboard stand-up display. Then, of course, she goes to attack the maniac cop with the weapon. A new chainsaw that was on display wouldn't have gas in it.
