Jennifer Connelly said in an interview that she was bitten by the chimp in this film. Apperently during one scene the chimp kept turning around and Dario Argento, not wanting to film her behind, asked Connelly to place her hand on the animal to stop her from turning. But when she attempted to do so, the chimp became enraged and bit her; and then became very hostile toward Connelly for the rest of the film.
Jennifer Connelly had part of her finger bitten off by the chimpanzee in the final scene at the end of the film. She was rushed to the hospital and the finger was re-attached.
(at around 15 mins) The story Jennifer tells about her mother abandoning her was an actual story from Dario Argento's own childhood.
Director Dario Argento often cites this film as his personal favorite among his works.
The film was inspired to Dario Argento after he learned that insects are sometimes used during murder investigations.

I killed that no-good inspector and your professor friend, to protect him! And now... I'm gonna KILL YOU TO AVENGE HIM! Why don't you call your INSECTS! GO ON! CALL! CALL! [Inga then attacks Frau and slashes her to death]"
