Quotes
Kate:
This will never work. Tom will never like me; I don't know who I'm kidding. What possible reason could there be to put myself through all this? Sex!
Kate:
I must admit, as far as reasons go, it's must be one of the best.
Goofs
Riff remarks excitedly to Kate about how the Ramones are all brothers. In fact, none of the Ramones were related to each other.
Alternate Versions
UK cinema and video versions were cut by 1 min 39 secs to remove all footage of cocaine and reefers. The cuts were fully restored for the 2002 Prism DVD.
