* MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales: The movie is popular among touring musicians of all stripes. As the LifeImitatesArt example on the trivia page attests, the events of the film hit very close to home for many musicians. Despite the potshots taken at HeavyMetal musicians and fans, metalheads and metal musicians alike are also big fans of the film.

** People knowledgeable about music history can tell that the band has spent their whole careers chasing the most popular music styles, but always getting there a bit too late.
** Towards the end of the film, Derek and David discuss a proposed musical about Jack the Ripper called "Saucy Jack." There actually ''was'' a 1976 Jack the Ripper musical, and one of its songs, "Ripper's Going to Get You," has a similar music hall style to "Saucy Jack."
