    • Trivia
      The film deliberately avoids specifying the locale, substituting "your country" and "you people" for Israel.
    • Goofs
      The list of people and organizations without whom the film could not have been made mentions "The Port Autorities of Tel Aviv."
    • Quotes

      American Hippie Mike: A push on the button and we are forced to run to our deaths, a push on the button and we shoot people, a push on the button and we are turned into wild animals. You fools stop pushing buttons, you Fools! Fools... Fools...

    • Crazy credits
      All of the regular acting and technical credits are in the beginning. The only closing credits are a list of those people and organizations without whom the film could not have been made.

    What the hell did I just watch?
    An American Hippie in Israel is an independent film that revolves around none other than the titular character. I really don't know I can describe it, but here I go. It is downright bizarre, and I do not mean that in a good way. The tone is all over the place, the editing is virtually non-existent, and I honestly cannot describe the writing to save my own life. On the bright side, the two lead males acted in other films (before and after this), which is more than I can say for the two actresses; it's quite a bummer if you ask me. If it hadn't been for the ending, I would've given this tripe a lower rating than 1.9/10.
