Wissenswertes
Although they had met during the 1970s when they were both teen idols, David Cassidy and Leif Garrett became close friends while making this film.

Patzer
When Eddie Trojan and Chanel-6 are riding in Eddie's car the song 'Don't Fear The Reaper' by Blue Oyster Cult is playing. The date is July 4, 1976. 'Don't Fear The Reaper' was not recorded until August 1976, and it became a billboard hit in November 1976.

Zitate
Dr. Von Mobil: We, the People, have a right to remain silent. Anything you say may be used against you. One nation, invisible, with Liberty and Christmas for all.

Crazy Credits
The closing credits of the movie featured the zodiac sign symbol of each cast and crew member on the production next to their name.

Alternative Versionen
The DVD version has three songs omitted, that were on the VHS copy, "Taking Care Of Business" by BTO, "Fox On The Run" by The Sweet, and "Rock The Boat" by the Hues Corporation. Generic music is played in their place.

Campy Comedy Worthy of John Waters

I never got to experience the 70's myself (I was born in '84), but this movie really makes me long for that bygone era. The first time I saw this film, I was just a kid, maybe 5 or 6, and I loved it from the start. Now that I'm older, I realize this movie is about the campiest thing I've ever seen, but it's still just as fun to watch. The platform shoes, 8-track cassettes, AMC Pacers, and bicentennial bongs will all serve to transport you into that beloved decade of excess and extravagance. This movie is packed with nutty, over-the-top characters who serve as caricatures for all of the diverse lifeforms the 70's produced. Smarmy science fare nerds, early mallrats, happy stoners, middle-aged yuppies seeking self-improvement, and those poor, restless creatures perpetually afflicted with Boogie Fever. This is a movie John Waters could have and should have had a hand in. A clever, skewed portrait of life in the 70's. Gee, I REALLY missed out on a lot!!!
