• In an advertisement in the October 2010 Official Xbox Magazine, the paddlesaw is shown with a different appearance; the chainsaws are dark blue and the paddle is wooden.
• The weapon is possibly a reference to, or possibly inspired by, the Dual Chainsaw Staff wielded by Skorge, in the "Gears of War 2" game.
• Chuck holds the weapon differently in game than on the box art, holding it like a spear rather than like a paddle.
