Trivia
Many shots imitate the work of modern American painters of New York City, especially the work of Ben Shahn and Robert Vickrey.
Quotes
Riff:
Come on.
Riff:
Beat it.
Goofs
At the beginning of the movie, behind the first close-up of Riff on the playground, snapping his fingers, you can see a young boy riding his bike behind Riff, the boy wasn't there in the previous shot (from above).
Crazy Credits
There are no opening credits; a red tinted aerial still of Manhattan with the title is shown as the overture plays. As the overture ends, the red tint is removed and the shot segues to aerial photography of Manhattan streets and landmarks.
