Trivia
According to director Bernard L. Kowalski, producer Gene Corman didn't want to pay the grips the extra money for pushing the camera raft while they were filming in the Pasadena Arboretum in the water, so first Kowalski and his brother did it and later Corman put on a bathing suit and did it himself and ended up in a hospital for a few days.

Goofs

Surprisingly good for a bad film

Regardless of the rabid fans of MST3K (myself included), attack of The Giant Leeches isn't the horrid film they make it out to be. Certainly it is low budget, but trying to shine through the lackluster production is a film that has some good writing, few plot holes, and exhibits an actual knowledge of the subject (swamps, critters, rednecks who are a danger to themselves and others...).

As far as Corman flicks go, this one has a good feel to it. Some drama, tragedy, comedy (well, some that was intentional), and an attempt at a real story. The screenwriter, Leo Gordon, has created a good feel for the south, and is an accomplished (although not great) practitioner of his trade. So, laughs aside, watch this movie again and focus on the plot when you can. There is no hocus pocus, minimal pseudo-science, and some likable characters.

Oh yeah, and please don't be a danger to yourself or others...
