Continuity mistake: The beginning of Phantasm III starts with a flashback from Phantasm II. The car being driven in the flashback is a 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda, with four headlights, two distinctly separate hood scoops, and a hardtop. In Phantasm III, the car is a 1970 Hemi 'Cuda, with two headlights, a single Shaker hood scoop with dual openings, a "Hemi" stripe, and a convertible. It's supposed to be the same car, and in the flashback sequence it's easy to see the differences.

Visible crew/equipment: When they show all of the spheres hanging from the ceiling in the room near the end, you can see the matting that they used to hang the balls from in clear view of the shot.
Tim: Shit! What the hell are those?
Trivia: Almost the entire score was taken from "Phantasm II," with only a few minor tweaks and additions. As the film was low budget, this was done as a cost-saving measure.
