* AnachronismStew : The film is supposed to be set in 1987, although some of the songs ("I Remember You," "More Than Words," etc.) were released later. The hairstyles (due to the lack of perms and layering) appear to be from a little later, and the fashions in the strip club date earlier (the Xanadu look from 1982 or so). It's a nostalgia piece about TheEighties.

* CrowningMomentofAwesome: When Stacee humiliates Paul after finding out he took the money of his concert at the Bourbon Room. He basically sics his monkey Hey Man, having him through random shit from the hotel room at Paul and forces him to read the article. Then when Paul tries to sweet talk his way out with 150 year old scotch, Stacee downs it while pissing on him and ends with a Bond One Liner/Ironic Echo.

*** Actually, it's stated quite early on by Mayor Whitmore that they're trying to kill the Strip so his financial backer can take it over, but this is never mentioned again, for whatever reason.
