Wissenswertes
During the fellatio scene, the crew walked out on the production refusing to take part. A similar incident happened during the shooting of Basket Case - Der unheimliche Zwilling (1982).

Patzer
When Brian wakes up bloody, the blood on his left hand disappears and reappears between shots.

Zitate
Aylmer: This is the start of your new life Brian, a life full of colors, music,light and euphoria. A life without pain, or hurt or suffering.

Crazy Credits
In the end titles, listed under "Historical Research" is BABE WOZENTHAL. According Frank Henenlotter on the DVD's commentary, this was a joke about Jerry Lewis in "The Errand Boy."

Alternative Versionen
Paramount video release deletes the gory nightclub fellatio and ear-pulling scenes to avoid an 'X' rating.

Decent schlocky 1980's horror/comedy, and with a few brief moments of male eroticism

I caught Brain Damage on ScreamTV and was pleasantly surprised, yet not wowed enough to give this 1980's low budget horror/comedy more than a 6.

Brian (Rick Hearst) wakes up one day feeling awful. His girlfriend, Barbara (Jennifer Lowry) comes over to see where he's at. Well, he's too sick to go out so his roommate/brother Mike (Gordon MacDonald) fills in. Comes to pass, some worm-like alien life form that looks like a blue turd has escaped from the neighbors' apartment and has now taken Brian on as its host. The creature, Aylmer (pronounced Elmer), is able to gives Brian a hallucinogenic rush into his spinal cord. In return, it demands to be hooked up to living human brains. What ensues is Brian spiraling out of control under Aylmer's influence as he becomes a complete drug addict and unleashes Aylmer's killing spree in some creative ways. The film, while very gory, is also kind of funny, yet sort of in the middling range of this genre.

As an aside, I will say there are some awesome male twink shots just about halfway through, one of MacDonald in his tights whiteys and one of Hearst showing his bare butt.
