Trivia: In a deleted scene, we are shown so-called "actual footage" from when a lone police officer is staking out the Tyler residence.

Trivia: During the interview, after Dr. Loomis is interrogated by the reporters about Michael, he says, "Let me make things nice and sparkling clear." This is a nod to his role as Alex DeLarge in "A Clockwork Orange."
Trivia: When Susie is in the mall bookstore watching Ray, there is an advertisement on the window for "The Lord of the Rings." Director Peter Jackson is best known for directing the film adaptation of this book series.
Trivia: Despite being the third film, this sequel was actually filmed second. At the point it went into filming, Wesley Snipes, who starred in the original, hadn't signed on for a sequel, so his role was recast. During production, Snipes signed on to return to the series and a new sequel was commissioned, while this film was shelved while producers figured out what to do with it. It was going to be re-titled at one point and any references to the previous films cut-out to make it stand alone, but after "The Art of War II: Betrayal" became a hot-seller, this film was quickly released as the "third" entry in the series.
Trivia: In the street car, look out for a small boy wearing a hat. This boy is director Renny Harlin's son, Lucas.
Trivia: The house used in the film as the one where the master lives, is the house in the news called the "nail house," where the owners refused an order to move because of construction. In the southwestern Chinese municipality of Chongqing, the modest two-story brick structure - a dot on the decimated landscape - is called the "nail house" because it seems to be nailed to the ground by its owners' stubbornness.
Trivia: "The Box" was based on a short horror story entitled "Button Button" by prolific and legendary sci-fi author Richard Matheson. Matheson's original story was first published in a 1970 issue of Playboy Magazine. He adapted his own story for the screen in a 1985 episode of the new "Twilight Zone" TV series, but it was significantly rewritten after he submitted it. Matheson was so angered by the Twilight Zone rewrite that he refused to allow his real name in the episode credits and instead used his pseudonym, "Logan Swanson."
