    • Trivia
      Actor Crispin Glover auditioned for the part of Bo and tested with Maxwell Caulfield. According to the audio commentary for the film, Director Penelope Spheeris said Glover's performance was "too psychotic".
    • Goofs
      When Bo and Roy leave Joe's party and plan for their road trip they estimate that Los Angeles is about 6 hours drive from the unspecified city where they live. As the start of the road trip they pass a sign that says 'U.S. Naval & Marine Corps Reserve Center - 1700 Stadium Way', which is right next to Dodger Stadium.
