Trivia
Much of the memorabilia used in the film is from 'Simmons, Gene'' personal collection.

The first protesting mother seen outside the KISS concert (with brown curly hair and glasses) is Pamela Bowen, credited as the MATMOK Lieutenant. Pamela Bowen was the real-life spouse of Paul Stanley, lead singer and guitar player for KISS. They divorced in 2001.

Each of the members of the band Mystery (Hawk, Trip, Jam, and Lex) mirror the members of the band KISS and even get together with girls appropriate to their counterparts: Hawk is like Paul Stanley, and gets the supermodel; Jam is like Peter Criss, and gets Beth (named after his solo song); Trip is like Ace Frehley, and gets the spacey girl; and Lex is like Gene Simmons, and gets Christine (named after one of his trademark songs).

Goofs
After the highway chase, when Hawk is being dragged over to have his face rubbed in the pizza on the windshield of the disco car, pizza is already visible on the shoulder of his jacket.
Share this
When the boys are singing "Shout It Out Loud", Lex is sitting behind Hawk, who is driving. But, in the next shot, Jam is sitting behind Hawk.

When the mother is struggling to open the turntable, the items on the bookshelf (crystal, etc.) fall and then reappear.

Quotes
Lex: Just because she's a female gynecologist, doesn't mean she's a lesbian. And even if she was, at least my mom didn't give birth to me while she was on LSD.

Hawk: I ain't no midnight cowboy, or nothing like that!

MC: And the winner is... Sir Loin!
