Quotes
Lucien Carr:
I was a kid, and you dragged me into your perverted mess.
David Kammerer:
How can you say that? You know that's not true. I will never give up on us.
Lucien Carr:
You're pathetic.
Goofs
Jack Kerouac, upon his arrest, contacts his father and we hear an American accent on the line. Kerouac's parents were French-speaking Quebecois and it took Jack until his late teens to fully master English, which he spoke with a slight Québec lilt; it is thus unlikely his father and he would have spoken in English, much less in a General American accent.
Crazy Credits
The first part of the end credits run over the top of photographs of the real Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Lucien Carr and William S. Burroughs.
