    • Trivia
      After screening the dailies of Gary Oldman screaming at the beginning of the film, projectionist Herbert Gambill suggested to the producer they use the John Lennon song "Mother" to accompany the scene, as both the scene and the song suggested primal scream therapy. The editors added it as temporary music and it wound up in the released film.
    • Goofs
      After being confronted by Martin (Gary Oldman) during her attempted (pseudo)-suicide by drowning herself in the pool, Linda Henry (Theresa Russell) exits the pool for the very first and only-ever time and there is plainly seen a trail of dripping water leading from where she is exiting the pool over to where she is retrieving her towel, clearly left over from a previous take of the same sequence just moments before.

    Jumped Track 29

    Hard as it is to imagine a film starring Christopher Lloyd, along with Gary Oldman and the incredible Theresa Russell as long-lost mother and son reunited in the most unmateral way, to be unwatchable, but this one was. Her accent was so atrocious I could not get past that, fascinating as her relationship with her son--whether dream, fantasy or reality I could not figure out and soon lost any interest in deciphering--may have been.

    What comes out is a jumbled, middled mess. You really can look away from a trainwreck.
