1 | * CreatorBacklash: Editor George Bolden has completely disavowed this film, and even wrote an IMDB review pleading people not to judge his body of work (of which has been mostly documentary-based) off this movie. |
2 | * TheDanza: The main character Michael is portrayed by director, writer, and actor...Michael Mfume. |
3 | * {{Dedication}}: To the director's grandmother. |
4 | * NoBudget: The estimated budget for the film was a whopping ''$650'' - and it shows. The movie appears to be shot on 16mm film but was edited on videotape and none of the dialogue was [[LoopingLines ADRed]]. |
5 | * TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment: The film was produced in 1992 (under the title ''The Weekend It Lives''), and even received a brief theatrical showing in Baltimore, Maryland and a very limited VHS release, but sat on the shelf for a decade before being released to DVD in 2002. |
6 | * TechnologyMarchesOn: One kill is set up when a group of people are forced to try and find someone who will let them use their home phone to make a call after their car runs out of gas. The fact that cell phones are not even mentioned in this scene pegs it to a time before they became ubiquitous. |
7 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: Michael Mfume had mentioned a script for a sequel/spin-off named ''The Awakening'' in early interviews, but nothing panned out. |
