Trivia
In the press release for the film, the studio tried to sell the movie both as a down-and-dirty "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and as a technical achievement in creating a multiplane effect using live-action and animation. The claims were somewhat foolhardy as "Roger"'s adult situations better served its plot and Roger had scores of technical breakthroughs in its attempt to seamlessly combine live-action and animation.

Near the end, Frank is laying in Cool World dead against the wall. As his girlfriend is walking down the street, his head is facing left, but when they cut back to him his head is turned right.

At the end of the film, when Lonette comes across Frank's body, she asks Nails who killed him and Nails tells her that he was pushed off a building by Holli Would, but Nails wouldn't have known this because he was still trapped inside the ink pen when Frank fell and not there to see it happen. In addition and for the same reason, he also wouldn't have known the answer to Lonette's other question, which was whether or not Holli Would was in doodle form when she killed Frank.

Q
Why is the opening song in the movie different from the soundtrack version.
A
The opening song "Play With Me (Jane) by the Thompson Twins used in the opening of the movie is indeed different. It is unknown why there is a different mix on the soundtrack album but the version for the movie is simply the "Cool World" mix with a 20sec piece of the "Full On" mix added in. Many fans of the version used during the opening credits were disenchanted with the album version.
