Trivia
In October 2019, Demi Moore stated (in The Late Late Show with James Corden) that this was the worst movie she has ever been in.

Goofs
When the first gang member gets infected by the parasite, they refer to it several times as 'that thing on his arm' despite the fact that it is on his chest.

Quotes
Patricia Welles: I could've gone to the city when my father died, but they'd just put me in one of those work camps, put a tattoo on my arm. I'm still a whole lot better off here.

Alternate versions
Due to Ascot targeting a "Not under 16" rating, the German theatrical version was cut for violence by 28 seconds to achieve such rating. Uncut version was released on VHS unrated, but later got BPjM indexed due to Germany's strict policies on movie violence at that time. The movie has since been removed from the index list in 2012, and all current German video releases since then are completely uncensored now with a "Not under 16" rating.

Connections
Edited into Sci-Fi Slaughter (2005)

Biological Paranoia Film Predictions: Monster Germs 3d

I've just bought the DVD for "Parasite". The widescreen DVD is totally superior to the old vhs rental copies, and the fun of this awesome 80s prediction film only gets better with age. The debut of Demi Moore isn't even nearly as interesting as the campy story of a scientist meeting a bunch of strange early eighties punk bikers (who have to be the stupidest gang I've ever seen)and unleash a big wormy looking monster with teeth. The story is fun and scary at the same time. The world was going to come to and end in '92, well that was '83 thinking anyway. There's no end to the fury of bad films you love being promoted to DVD. This one of them.
