Trivia

A theme of bears can be noticed in the film: the meeting at the start is of the Brown Bear Lodge; a California state flag (with a bear on it) is seen in Arctor's house; Arctor's name appears to be derived from "Ursus arctos", the scientific name for the brown bear, and from the star, Arcturus (located in the Bootes constellation, which is also known as the "bear keeper or herder").



Quotes

Freck: I looked them up. They're aphids. They're in my hair, on my skin, in my lungs. And the pain, Barris, it's unreasonable. They're all over the place. Oh, they've completely gotten Millie too.



Goofs

(at around 35 mins) During the conversation in the tow truck between Barris and Arctor, visible landmarks switch between Irvine, CA (on the Tustin border) when the camera is on Barris, and Orange, CA (on the border of Anaheim) when the camera is on Arctor. In addition, the same exterior shots from Interstate 5 of the Irvine Technology Center business park are passed several times in the same scene.



Crazy Credits

At the start of the ending credits, the following text appears: This has been a story about people who were punished entirely too much for what they did. I loved them all. Here is a list, to whom I dedicate my love: To Gaylene, deceased To Ray, deceased To Francy, permanent psychosis To Kathy, permanent brain damage To Jim, deceased To Val, massive permanent brain damage To Nancy, permanent psychosis To Joanne, permanent brain damage To Maren, deceased To Nick, deceased To Terry, deceased To Dennis, deceased To Phil, permanent pancreatic damage To Sue, permanent vascular damage To Jerri, permanent psychosis and vascular damage ...and so forth In memoriam. These were comrades whom I had; There are no better. They remain in my mind, and the enemy will never be forgiven. The "enemy" was their mistake in playing. Let them play again, in some other way, and let them be happy. Philip K. Dick
