The rule of the thumb is usually, unless you're quoting a complete statement, then the punctuation goes on the outside.

My apologies, when I split off the camera and distribution information from the beheading scene info I thought the footnote at the end of the original paragraph led to an online source.

Doesn't really appear to be any argument against its removal. I'll admit, it has always kind of bugged me.

I removed the part about injuries because there was no way to reword it and, it appears as if the editor who added it may have confused information about the original with info about the remake, which is the main topic of the cited article. I moved the image to the

Roger Ebert's quote in the third paragraph is problematic. The first sentence is almost his exact words, yet it is not in quotes. When compared to the source text, the second sentence appears to be minor synthesis. I suggest pulling two or more sentences from the review and connecting them with

Mike Emery's quote in the second paragraph appears to be from a 1998 review, which can be seen in its entirety by clicking the link under the quote on the source site. Its currently location in the article makes it appear to be a review of the original release. I'd like to move it to the fourth

1184:
I agree that they are awkward, particularly the second one. I removed the first sentence because it provided no new information. The rest of it should be paraphrased. A quote within a quote is awkward, and the use of "upcoming" dates the information and could confuse readers.

The actual movie uses two words. Marketing subsequently used one word after the initial release, but when the movie originally aired it was marketed as "Chain Saw". Plus, they have never changed the actual title screen of the movie, which has "Chain Saw".

I'm not sure how to reword that part about the injuries during filming. I've also removed the reference with no relevance any more to the section. The photo in the development section should probably be moved to the filming section.
