¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesThe Cancer Boy character was a rather contentious part of the movie. A Paramount executive, who had a loved one suffering from cancer, was so offended by Cancer Boy when a rough cut was shown they demanded the character be removed from the film, but the Kids adamantly refused. The executive would get revenge by making sure the film had a limited theatrical release with little advertisements. Looking back, the Kids would admit that Cancer Boy ended up killing the film's chances financially, with Dave Foley and Kevin McDonald feeling they should have just relented and cut the scene so the movie would have gotten a wider release while Scott Thompson, Bruce McCulloch and Mark McKinney do not regret it artistically, feeling that Cancer Boy is a biting satire of celebrities who exploit sick children for publicity.
- PifiasWhen the psychiatrist writes a prescription for Gleemonex for the repressed gay character, we see a large microphone hanging from the patient's neck during an over-the-shoulder shot as he's sitting up on the couch.
- Citas
Raymond Hurdicure: Sorry we're a few hours late, there, Ma, but you know how the kids... uh... hate old people.
- Créditos adicionalesAfter the credits, Mother Hurdicure is distressed over her grandson flying away with the balloons she gave him, and is queried by the boy's mother as to his whereabouts.
- Versiones alternativasThe Kids in the Hall originally filmed a different ending to the film where Dr. Chris Cooper (played by 'Kevin McDonald') fell into a coma and dreamed the ending. Apparently this included "an elaborate parade, complete with Coma Queens, candy-coloured floats, and a grinning mob", but unfortunately it scored poorly with test audiences. Paramount and the Kids re-evaluated the ending and agreed it lacked dramatic-weight and was "too scattered". They re-shot the ending in January.

Reseña destacada
When I was growing up in the 80's, there were basically three camps of movies that were so incredibly funny that they were legendary among my peers and my generation. Those movies were the Monty Python films (Holy Grail, Life of Brian, Meaning of Life), the Mel Brooks classics (Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein), and the Airplane! movies. Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy is an awesome example of how funny a movie can be, and I hope that some day more people will see it that way and that it will achieve a cult status as a legend of great comedy. It did terribly at the box office, but that was just some unfortunate oversight. Brain Candy features uncanny wit, rollicking absurdity, hilarious zaniness, immaculately understated social commentary, and some of the best comic performances ever filmed (my personal favorite performances are Mark as Don Roritor and Scott Thompson as the clueless closeted gay guy). I believe that the particular kind of comedy in Brain Candy is not easy to enjoy during the first viewing, which is why you should watch it a few times. When the Kids' masterpiece starts sinking in to your head, you'll start getting a whole lot of laugh-returns on your investment.
