    • Trivia
      John Cassavetes was going to direct the film in the 1980s with 'Sean Penn' in the lead but the project could not be completed before Cassavetes died.
    • Goofs
      Joey gets out of his Cadillac holding his car keys, but the car's warning beeper signifies that the keys are still in the ignition.
    • Quotes

      Shorty: [Joey draws a pistol] Joey, it's not that kind of an evening.

    • Alternate versions
      The film was released straight to video in Holland. This version has no strong language whatsoever. Every swearword etc. has been badly replaced with milder versions, probably not by the actors themselves.

    Just like his old man.
    Nick follows in the footsteps of his old man, John Cassavetes, who supplied the screenplay and you can tell because the down and out characters walk about with cigarette in one hand and a glass of booze in the other. This is a very simple tale of manic love told with care.
