* BudgetBustingElement: It is estimated that approximately one-fifth of the films $25 million budget was spent on the originally filmed DownerEnding where [[TheBadGuyWins the Audrey II plants take over New York]], a sequence that makes heavy use of elaborate puppetry and miniature effects. The scene was cut and replaced with a happier ending after negative test screenings.

add Four Tops in here somewhere


* OneBookAuthor: Levi Stubbs (Audrey II) had exactly one other acting job after this as the voice of Mother Brain on ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster''. Other than that, he pretty much stuck with his regular job as a singer for the rest of his life.

** Moranis and Candy, of course, had both been cast members on ''Series/{{SCTV}}'', and this was one of several projects the two would appear in together.

* AdvertisedExtra: Like Nicholson (retroactively) before them, Creator/BillMurray and Creator/JohnCandy's single-scene roles were over-emphasized due to their stardom. Murray appears even more in the trailer than Creator/VincentGardenia, while Candy is one of the ''four'' featured actors [[https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815Dm7vytkL._SL1500_.jpg on the Director's Cut [=BluRay=] and DVD covers]].

** Interestingly, the screenplay of the movie that is available contains a slightly different ending to the movie from the two that actually exist. The screenplay is largely the same up until just after Audrey's death and Patrick Martin's offer. The fight between Audrey 2 and Seymour occurs (to the cut song from the stage show "Bad" in the script as "Mean Green Mother" likely hadn't been written) but after the plant brings the shop down, Seymour crawls out of the rubble and runs away yelling that he'll warn the world about the plants. Seymour is then present in "Don't Feed The Plants" first seen slapping the plants out of customers hands, before being seen running with a crowd as Audrey 2 rampages across the city.
