The film is a satire of the censoring of films in Sweden and is regarded as the top Swedish cult film and one of the goriest Swedish films of all time. It also uses an intentionally bad English dub for humorous effect. The film stars Johan Rudebeck as Evil Ed, Olof Rhodin as the sleazy Sam Campbell, Per Löfberg as the innocent horrorfan Nick and Gert Fylking as the crazy SWAT leader who challanges Evil Ed.

** The stand off between Ed and the SWAT leader is from ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly''.
* TakeThat: The plot for this film makes fun of how poorly censored horror films are for the European releases. Anyone who has seen a Swedish state-censored horror film will say the edit Ed does to the murder scene is spot on in its clumsiness.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: While the ugly cut Ed makes in the "Loose Limbs" film seems rather baffling, this is exactly how censor cuts were in Sweden prior to 1995. However, unlike in the film, the cuts were made by government officials with little insight from the producers.

*** The scene where Ed's wife Barbara hides in the closet looks exactly like the one in ''Film/{{Halloween 1978}}''.
