FILM 1117: CABIN FEVER 2: SPRING FEVER

TRIVIA: After extensive re-editing and re-shooting by the producers, writer/director Ti West requested to have his name removed from the film and replaced with the popular pseudonym Alan Smithee. Since he was not a member of the DGA his request was denied by the producers and he remains credited as the film's director. West has since disowned the final product claiming that it is more a product of the producers and executives than that of his own. It is unknown if there will ever be a "directors cut" released featuring West's original vision.

Paul (Rider Strong) and Deputy Winston Olsen (Giuseppe Andrews) are the only characters from the first film to appear in the sequel.

The school mascot is a rabbit. In the original Cabin Fever (2002), Paul sees a guy in a rabbit suit at the hospital.

While at Lucille's diner, Winston orders pancakes. In the original Cabin Fever (2002), the little kid, Dennis, repeats "Pancakes!" over and over.

According to Fangoria magazine there were two separate drafts of Cabin Fever 2 written in 2004. One by famed original director Eli Roth and one by genre favorite Adam Green. However due to internal politics at Lionsgate both Green and Roth's scripts were set aside to bring in a completely new vision. When the film was eventually finished, it was shelved for several years.
