Biography

Legacy

Three Finger's corpse still remained on top of the remains of his truck while Nate Wilson and Alex Miles were found in the road by police. Some time later, Wilson returned to the forest to retrieve the money from the armoured car. He was killed by Brandon Lewis, who was in turn killed by another surviving cannibal.

Notes

Behind the Scenes

• Three Finger was initially portrayed by Canadian actor Julian Richings in the first film. Richings drew from his stage experience while playing the part, and did most of his own stunts. Richings developed Three Finger's design and movements alongside Stan Winston, and additionally created the character's laugh.

Reception

• Phelan Porteous, in-character as Phelous, stated he felt the character was generic, and only recognised the character because of the repeated mention of his name in the various films' IMDB credits.

Trivia

• The Stan Winston School of Character Arts posted a behind the scenes video in 2020 documenting the sculpting of the Three Finger design.
• Allison Pregler sang a parody of the James Bond song "Goldfinger" titled "Three Finger".
