* A deleted scene shows that Arkin is originally potrayed to be much more cold-hearted, with him seeing Hannah cries for help but just throw her the middle finger before leaving her behind to die.
* He is a spin-take from the casual final girl/guy trope, being level-headed through the entire film instead of instinctively acting mindlessly.
* Arkin is planned to appear in the upcomming sequel, The Collected.
