Notes & Trivia[]
- Husband of actress Lin Shaye who appeared in The Hidden.
- The original ending to Xtro was to show Rachel Phillips coming home to find the apartment filled with clones of her son Tony, having apparently hatched from the alien eggs which had been left in the refrigerator. However, executive producer Robert Shaye did not feel that the special effects required for the scene would be convincing enough and it was re-edited to show Rachel sitting down in a field after Sam and Tony leave.
