Trivia
Alex Cox's second and last film produced by Universal Pictures, the first was Repo Man. He was later offered Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas but was fired from the project. Universal eventually took over and hired Terry Gilliam to direct. See more »Goofs
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: This film is littered with anachronisms (for example: modern cars, color printed magazines and coca cola bottles). However, these are clearly an artistic choice by the film-maker and cannot be considered true 'goofs'. See more »Quotes

Doubleday: What exactly are your aims?
