Anecdotes
Director Menahem Golan has said that when the picture was booed midway through at the 1980 Montreal Film Festival, he left the theater, went to his hotel and was preparing to commit suicide by jumping off the balcony when his business partner barged in and stopped him.

Gaffes
Under the opening titles, there is a shot of a bank of flags that prominently includes one for the "ICC Berlin" (the actual filming location), not a likely location for the Worldvision 1994 if it takes place in the United States.

Citations
Mr. Boogalow: [singing] Like a puppet on a string / Like a monkey on a swing / Man is clinging to the ropes / Of the fantasies and hopes / We are dangling / He's so eager to believe / And so easily deceived / Like a baby watching magic / He's so gullible, it's tragic / In a word, naïve.

Autres versions
In 2008, MGM loaned out an uninspected print of the film for a midnight showing that was marked "Screening Print." This version of the film included the missing "Child of Love" and wedding scenes (which are present on the soundtrack album and glimpsed in the trailer) as well as other deleted footage, including differently edited musical numbers, unfinished visual effects in the finale, and a longer scene of Alphie searching for Bibi during the party/orgy. This print was screened at several midnight movie showings over the next several years. It was hoped that Kino Lorber's Blu-Ray release of the film in 2016 would be able to include this footage, but the print was stolen in the intervening years, and has not been found as of 2020.

Something this bizarre cannot be dismissed so easily.

Vapid (largely due to the male lead's inability to act - not surprisingly, this was his only film), bizarre fantasy-musical-allegory. It gets points for its sheer audacity and the effort that was put into it - it was probably made on a relatively low budget, yet it manages to create a world of its own; apparently it was filmed in Germany, but it seems to be taking place on another universe altogether. For some reason, it reminded me of "Zardoz" (yes, and "Logan's Run" too): these movies are so bizarre that they belong in a league of their own, beyond "good" and "bad". Best song: "If you know how to be a ma-ster". (**)
