- Box Office Bomb: Budget, $1,000,000. Box office, $210,200.
- Creator Backlash: This was Courtney Love's first film. When it was brought up by an interviewer, she immediately replied "Trust me, you don't want to see it."
- Creator Killer: This film and Walker's very poor performances immediately sentenced Alex Cox to the C-list of Hollywood moviemakers; he has only been able to scrape enough money to make Direct to Video films since. This one, however, became a Cult Classic.
- What Could Have Been: Rosanna Arquette was originally going to play Courtney Love's character (she eventually appeared in Alex Cox's Repo Chick).
- Word of Gay/Word of Saint Paul: Philip Chevron, who plays Ed McMahon, states the reason Ed can't shoot Willy is because he's in love with him. Given that Chevron himself was openly gay, this could feasibly count as Queer Character, Queer Actor.
