Trivia[]
- Gang Dodger Chainsaws don't use the chainsaw's sound effects.
- The Chainsaw is possibly a partial reference to the chainsaw featured in Brian De Palma's Scarface, used to kill Tony Montana's friend, Angel, early in the movie.
- This is supported by the fact that the chainsaw featured in Scarface strikes quite a resemblance to the one seen in Wrong Number.
- In real life, Chainsaws are ineffective weapons due to the fact that 'teeth' of the saw have a tendency to jam on clothes when used as a weapon, partially due to the fact that they tend to be be blunt rather than sharp since they are designed to saw through wood
