details

• The dinner scene with Billy's parents pays hommage to the static visual style of Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu, who is referred to by the OZU on the license plate of Layla's car.
  
  
• The character Scott Woods is a reference to Buffalo Bills place kicker Scott Norwood who missed the game winning field goal in Super Bowl XXV.
  
  
• Of the $1.5 million budget, $20,000 was spent on Anjelica Huston's wig alone.
  
  

• The house where Billy Brown's parents live in the film is the very same house where Vincent Gallo lived with his parents growing up.
  
  
• Gallo decided to shoot on reversal stock (the equivalent of color transparency film - expensive both to buy and process), without even knowing if it was going to be developed.
  
  
• Ben Gazzara ad-libbed the part where he shoves his face between Christina Ricci's breasts at the dinner table.
  
  
• The song Billy's father sings to Layla, "Fools Rush In Where Angels Fear To Tread", was actually sung by Vincent Gallo's father, Vincent Gallo Sr.
