After Zappa's ideas to have Wilfred Brambell (see below) and Noel Redding (The Music/JimiHendrix Experience) take the role of Jeff failed, it ended up going to Ringo Starr's chauffeur, Martin Lickert, who serendipitously knew how to play bass (though his bass parts got overdubbed later).

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: As with most of Zappa's film scripts the low budget (see ''Music/UncleMeat'') made it impossible to bring all of his ideas in a proper and complete way to the screen. Had Zappa and Tony Palmer been able to film the entire story from beginning to end it might have felt more coherent and a bit better to understand. The final product as it is now is a BaseBreaker among Zappa fans. Many feel it to be a confusing disappointment, especially since Frank himself is hardly in it.
