    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Co-writer Jack Nicholson actually compiled the film's soundtrack in its final form, with snippets of the film's dialogue between songs, and is so credited on its LP album cover (when he saw Michael Nesmith at work in the studio and asked if he could help, Nesmith let him take over, because he said "I just want to go home."). Nicholson had unwavering enthusiasm for the film, joining in a stickering campaign to promote its premiere and declaring later that "I saw it, like, 158,000,000 times, man. I loved it!"
    • Goofs
      Annette Funicello's character is called Theresa by Davy Jones before the boxing sequence, but is listed as Minnie in the end credits.
    • Quotes
      • Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Mike Nesmith, Peter Tork: [chanting in unison] Hey, hey, we are The Monkees, to that we all agree. A manufactured image with no philosophies.
    • Crazy credits
      There are no credits at the beginning at the film, which was extremely rare for a 1960s film. They all appear at the end of the film.
    • Alternate versions
      When the film was previewed in August 1968, its original cut ran about 110 mins. It was trimmed down to 86 mins. for the premiere.
