Trivia:

In the scene where the bikers are chasing the main characters after pouring beer on their bikes, everything appears very blue. Though this can be achieved with light filters and gels, this particular scene was shot outdoors with indoor film (continuing from the last scene in a store), which is not color-balanced for sunlight, causing everything to look blue.

Goofs:

Continuity: In the diner while Michele and Critter are talking, Buzz is nowhere to be seen, and yet, a second later, he appears next to them. This was an error introduced in the conversion to home video. The DVD version clearly shows Buzz getting up and returning with a beer, instead of teleporting into frame.

Quotes:

Buz Nichols: I see you've been promoted from Yak Boy to Mop Boy.

It's two films in one...

...That really shouldn't have been combined. One half of the film is a woman chasing her dream of being a go-go dancer. The other half is about the seedy side of drug use, and drug pushers. Some films do well against the test of time. This one fell flat 10 seconds after its release. Bad acting and a second-rate band shoot this one down.
