Trivia:
The dance performance in the movie is actually performed to "West End Girls" by the Pet Shop Boys (Neil Tennant & Chris Lowe). Due to budgetary constraints, however, the song had to replaced by Duran Duran's "Notorious" in post-production. (more)

Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When Donnie finds the .45 pistol in the closet the hammer is not cocked and the safety is on. It is impossible to engage the safety on a .45 unless the hammer is cocked. And there is a screw or pin visible in the rear left side of the slide which does not exist in a real .45. (more)
