Trivia

The movie had an unlikely spot for its world premiere - the Centennial Twin Theater in Sheridan, Wyo. - in June 1986. Local resident Lisa Barber won the right to host the premiere by being the 10,000th caller in MTV's "Prince Under the Cherry Moon" contest. Several members of the cast (including Prince) and a few notables such as Joni Mitchell and Ray Parker Jr. showed up in the north-central Wyoming city for the event, which also featured a post-movie party and a 45-minute private concert from Prince at the local Holiday Inn.

Kristin Scott Thomas has since been disdainful of the film. In an interview in 2005, she said that "When I left drama school...I was more afraid of not working at all than of the actual material I was being offered. And if you look at my very first film, you'll understand exactly what I mean."
