    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Although the film was supposed to have been shot in many locations, the scenes in Greece and New York's port (at the end of the movie), were in fact filmed in Naples, Italy. Names and banners were created to make it look like the locations they were supposed to be, but they were riddled with typographical errors; in addition, the real port of Piraeus doesn't look anything like the one depicted in the film.
    • Goofs
      The band in the back of the club during "Anyone for Love" is barely pretending to be playing. Note especially the violinist whose bow doesn't touches the strings.
    • Quotes
      • Murphy: I'd like to get ahold of a couple a million dollars from one of these foundations and hire a few doctors and find out why people keep sticking needles in themselves. I'd like to do that a lot. But, I'm too busy here trying to find out how the junk gets into the country.
