Quotes

 * "Well in that case, I'm gonna go dust for fingerprints with Jane Pauley."
 * "Ten more murders and we can publish a calendar."
 * "What the hell is your problem? Last night you were almost charcoal."

Trivia

 * He was described as "Kincaid's cohort and partner. He's in his late thirties. Family man" in the script.


 * A deleted scene was filmed paralleling the cops coming onto the scene of the final confrontations of Scream and Scream 2 in which Wallace is surprised at all the chaos, but was deemed superfluous with the scene following at Sidney's home.


 * Wallace's first name is never mentioned throughout the film. However, on his desk at the police station and on the bullet proof vest that Sidney wore to the Milton Mansion, the text "Det. J. Wallace" can be seen, which means that his first name at least begins with the letter "J", it is most likely that his first name is "Joshua", which would be a reference to the actor who portrays Wallace (Josh Pais).
