    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In a deal reminiscent of the one brokered in Mel Brooks' The Producers (1967), shares were sold in the film to a Wall Street tax shelter group, effectively meaning that it didn't need to be released and was designed to lose money so that others would make money. Director Allan Arkush learned this during filming and was thoroughly demoralized by it, knowing that he was making a film that no one would see.
    • Goofs
      When Auden walks straight out into the street, one car barely misses him and two more (blue car and the same orange car that Nada and her band arrive at the theatre in) skid to one side and almost crash. In the next shot, the blue car is still there, but the orange car (which should have been blocked in by the blue car) is gone.
    • Quotes

      King Blues: Hey, Cool. Is it the reefer, or is someone else singing one of my songs?

      Captain Cloud: Well, the song is the same, but... different!

    the funniest and most original rock comedy ever!!!!

    The funniest and most original rock comedy ever! I first saw this film as a 14 or 15 year old and have seen it many times. Its music is fabulous with piggys version of hoochie coochie man a stand out. it is very rare to get the right mix of comedy/music in a film and i believe that they did this superbly with spinal tap a not to close second.And although i have not seen it for many years it still holds a very special place in my movie memory.
