    • Trivia
      When this film was originally shown in theaters, patrons were given free paper "Up Chuck Cups" when they purchased their tickets.
    • Goofs
      When Dr. Burton and the detective are talking at the Robertson residence after being informed of Albert's escape from the mental institution, the phone rings once and Albert's mother goes to retrieve it. The detective stops her and spends twelve seconds convincing her to keep him on the phone- it never rings again but she manages to pick up the receiver and Albert speaks to her on the other end.
    • Quotes

      Nurse: Albert, you know you're not supposed to watch this kind of film.

    • Crazy credits
      Movie opens facing a man running a movie projector, as if the audience were looking back at him from the screen, credits rolling. A nurse comes in and tells the man that the doctor has told him watching such a movie was bad for him, the movie, in this instance, as seen by the audience as well, being "I Dismember Mama."
    • Alternate versions
      The film was unreleased in the UK until 1986. It was then issued on video as "Crazed" and cut by over 5 minutes by the BBFC with heavy edits to the scene where the maid is forced to strip at knifepoint, and later flashbacks to the same sequence.

    Poor viewer, forget Albert

    Zooey Hall, I've not seen him in any other role but, boy, was he perfect for the part of Albert. He certainly is a creepy-lookin' fellow. No wonder he's credited as playing "Joanie's Weird Boyfriend" on a Happy Days episode.

    I Dismember Mama is an irksome film with laughable music throughout, even for the period. The scenes where Albert is chasing Annie has accompanying music that sounds like something from the old Adam West "Batman" TV-series. It ruins the climatic scenes. Summed up, there's not much to see, well . . . some '70s nudity.
