* HarsherInHindsight: [[https://www.trussel.com/lyman/frech5.htm Mark Frechette ended up dead in prison]] three years after the movie's release. Convinced by the [[https://www.trussel.com/lyman Mel Lyman Family cult]] -- and perhaps by the fact that he'd been one of PedophilePriest [[https://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-brett0915.artsep15-story.html Father Laurence Brett's specially chosen victims]] known as the "Maverick" boys -- that pain, anger and violence are the only true and patriotic reality, Frechette and two friends believed the most "real" thing they could do was [[https://www.trussel.com/lyman/mclellan.htm to hold up a bank]]. "The government is the banks and the real criminals work in banks, and banks deserve to be robbed." They hoped to counteract "everything that is choking this country to death" -- and they chose the bank where the Lyman Family's money was invested. Frechette's friend Hercules Thein was killed by police. Frechette surrendered, his gun hadn't been loaded, and he got a light sentence to a minimum security facility. Six months later he was asphyxiated by a 150-pound weight bar he'd apparently been trying to bench press. Daria Halprin was also in the Lyman cult, but escaped and later married Creator/DennisHopper.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: And how! The film includes music from giants of the counter-culture like Music/PinkFloyd and Music/TheGratefulDead which really helps to sell the film's message. Special mention goes to the usage of Careful with that Axe Eugene from the former in the climax.

** Folkloric American Primitive guitarist Music/JohnFahey was asked to provide music for the love scene. Fahey flew to Rome for the recording session, but got fed up with the "orgies" and Antonioni's attitude, especially his anti-Americanism, and ended up punching his lights out.
