Trivia
For the film's premiere at the Venice Film Festival, actor Lee Pace managed to find an original DeLorean car in Italy that unfortunately broke down and had to be pushed onto the red carpet for the publicity photographs.

Goofs
In one of the first scenes, it is stated that the year is 1977, yet Ellen is shown to be driving an Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser that can only be as old as 1989. This is a massive oversight as the Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser didn't exist at all until 1982, nor did any GM vehicle of that body style as the A-Body did not exist until 1982 either, let alone the updated version from 1989.

Quotes
John DeLorean: The darkest dark is the dark beside the spotlight. You can do anything there and no one seems to notice.

Could have been much better...

...if it wasn't for the terrible writing. The screenplay had many plot and technical issues. The pacing was terrible that the 108 min run-time felt much longer. Too many long dragged out/unnecessary scenes that should've been edited down/out to fix the plot issues - e.g. why the briefcase (without giving away any spoilers) - an important omission of that detail, no? The editing wasn't any better. The sound/score was off and out of place in some scenes. Directing/camera work and cinematography was decent, but the production overall still felt like a low budget B-grade film from inexperienced filmmakers. On the plus side, casting was great and all actors where convincing, especially Lee Pace and Jason Sudeikis. Overall it was still an enjoyable biopic on John DeLorean. It's a generous 7/10 from me
