Trivia
Almost all of the dialogue was unscripted and improvised, from scene-by-scene outlines as instructed by the director. Likewise, a large bulk of the music was composed during filming, by members of both of the film's 'rival' bands.
Crazy Credits
During the credits, Stuðmenn are walking after a parade on the streets of Kobenhagen. And at the very end there are fireworks over the Tivoly.
