Three on a Meathook/Fun Facts
From The Grindhouse Cinema Database
- Based on real-life killer/cannibal Ed Gein, whose story also inspired, among other films, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and Psycho (1960).
- According to director William Girdler, the truck Billy drives in the film wasn't working on the night when the scene where Billy picks up the four girls was shot, so crew members had to push the truck into the shot to make it appear that it 'drove' up. This is also the reason why we don't hear the motor running during this scene.
