Wissenswertes
The soundtrack was created by Frank Zappa, later of The Mothers of Invention. It was recorded at Chaffey College in Alta Loma, CA. He was 22 at the time and it was his first film score. He later said he hated the film and called it "the world's worst movie". He said that his score was an intentional parody of the music and style of Elvis Presley, whom he detested.

Patzer
(at around 13 mins) When Clarence tries to learn to play the guitar.

Zitate
Clarence Hilliard: Let's be different. Let's not hate anyone.

Crazy Credits
Instead of listing the crew's jobs, the names are preceded by or are accompanied by, an image. For example, scissors cutting a piece of film (editor) and a Dollar sign (producer).

Weird & Good

Well, I FINALLY saw this last night. So weird. So bizarre. So timely. Yes, completely camp. The acting, old-timey film with it's technical gaps, music. The script still fits in today. Politics and religion in the spotlight. So ahead of it's time. Really keeps ones attention though. Tim Carey was born to play this role.

I watched mostly for the Frank Zappa soundtrack, but was a memorable film experience that I'm glad I had.

I also really miss the days when this website let you write a review that didn't have to be ten lines long. Yes, I've been here that long, but one could also argue long enough to actually do the correct thing here and just write a longer review. I feel ornery. Today.
