Trivia:

In one scene, Billy and Jo talk about travelling while lying back in the remains of a car. This short scene took an extremely long time to shoot, because of two tramps who refused to move from the area and who kept shouting at one another. Once the tramps quietened down the crew had to contend with the deafening sound from a helicopter hovering above a nearby hospital.

Quotes:

Billy:[to Jo] This is the 90s. Sex isn't safe any more.

Hey Jude, Drive My Car

For kicks, young and beautiful Jude Law (as Billy) and disaffected tough Sadie Frost (as Jo) steal cars, drive them into stores, and trash the places. They call it "Shopping". A rivalry develops between the two joy-riders and smarmy Sean Pertwee (as Tommy), who is the best store thrasher in the English neighborhood. Director Paul Anderson's star displays only a fraction of his later acting success; surprisingly, most of the spark occurs between Ms. Frost and Mr. Pertwee. "Shopping" seems meant to be compared with "A Clockwork Orange" - a certain musical interlude drives that point home - but, neither Mr. Law nor the film approach Malcolm McDowell or Stanley Kubrick. Not that it doesn't have style, mind you. And, Jonathan Pryce, Sean Bean, and Marianne Faithful help make the trip. Anderson should have ended with Law being thrown from the car into a bloody display with the store mannequin; instead, he blinked...
