Once Bitten opened in the United States in November of 1985, followed by West Germany in 1986, and then cut a swath through France, Poland, and Eastern Europe—closely following the brutal, destructive path of Hitler's Third Reich during World War II. It has since played throughout the world, where people of all races, creeds and religions have joined in the communal experience of not laughing at my jokes:

Einmal beißen bitte premiered in West Germany on 21 August 1986, creating the only night in history in which free West Germans were escaping over the Berlin Wall into repressive East Germany—just to avoid seeing the film.

Continuity Photos

In 2011, the film's continuity script (for makeup, hair, clothes, etc.) went up for auction on eBay. The 118 page production script is dated February 8, 1985 and features many highlighted sections -- and page after page of attached continuity Polaroids of the actors. I bid $500 (actually $501.01, to be precise), thinking that no sane person would outbid me at that price... and lost to these guys: Screen Used Movie Props and Wardrobe. Months later (unbeknownst to me), they re-sold it... for $150 less than I had bid on eBay! Nice business model, film nerds! (UPDATE: They're out of business -- and whoever bought it doesn't appear to be using the images for promotional or publishing purposes, so if you're reading this: CONTACT ME!) Here are a few images from the auction. The first seven are from the original sale on eBay, and the rest are from the auction site:
