Lack of content
I am a bit offended with the lack of content in this article. This film was a major milestone for the 1990's indie film movement.

Heather Graham
Come on, does she really 'star' in it? She appears for about ten minutes near the end!--192.149.238.37 15:03, 28 January 2007 (UTC)


 * She has poster billing and opening title card credits. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 22:11, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

use of the phrase "that's money"
Do we have some sort of reference for the "fact" that this film popularized "the use of the word "money" as a catch-all term of approval or quality"? I've never, ever heard the word "money" used this way except when people are talking about this movie. Minaker (talk) 12:16, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Budget
Was the budget for the film $250,000 or $700,000? The infobox says one thing, and the article text says another. I remember from the special features on the DVD that the director says the total budget was $250,000. I am going to change the main text to read $250,000 unless anybody objects. WatchAndObserve (talk) 20:31, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

It was $250,000 while it was being filmed and then when they sold the film to Miramax, they spent more money (another $250k?) on music rights. That may be the cause of the ongoing discrepancies. In any case, by hollywood standards, practically free 70.36.142.245 (talk) 23:31, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Have attempted to trim and encyclopediafy the plot summary per tag. Will now delete it. --BoogaLouie (talk) 17:00, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
