Deodato later expressed deep regret for the animal scenes. In interviews, he has said he wishes he had used special effects or fake fur, admitting, "I was stupid. I didn't think about the future.

The actors in the film were forced to remain in hiding for months after release because the public believed they had actually been murdered.
