Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Menahem Golan has said that when the picture was booed midway through at the 1980 Montreal Film Festival, he left the theater, went to his hotel and was preparing to commit suicide by jumping off the balcony when his business partner barged in and stopped him.
- GoofsUnder the opening titles, there is a shot of a bank of flags that prominently includes one for the "ICC Berlin" (the actual filming location), not a likely location for the Worldvision 1994 if it takes place in the United States.
- Quotes
Mr. Boogalow: [singing] Like a puppet on a string / Like a monkey on a swing / Man is clinging to the ropes / Of the fantasies and hopes / We are dangling / He's so eager to believe / And so easily deceived / Like a baby watching magic / He's so gullible, it's tragic / In a word, naïve.
- Alternate versionsIn 2008, MGM loaned out an uninspected print of the film for a midnight showing that was marked "Screening Print." This version of the film included the missing "Child of Love" and wedding scenes (which are present on the soundtrack album and glimpsed in the trailer) as well as other deleted footage, including differently edited musical numbers, unfinished visual effects in the finale, and a longer scene of Alphie searching for Bibi during the party/orgy. This print was screened at several midnight movie showings over the next several years. It was hoped that Kino Lorber's Blu-Ray release of the film in 2016 would be able to include this footage, but the print was stolen in the intervening years, and has not been found as of 2020.

Featured review
This is one of the most delicious fruits I've tasted in a long time.
Yes, it's cheesy, but you can't beat a whole musical number of
seduction that ends with a literal orgasm, the chanteuse singing
"I'm coming, I'm coming...." Hysterical!
From a pop anthropologic perspective it's also an interesting
image of the transition from disco to early 80s wave and pop. You
can see the seeds of fashion later made popular by the likes of
Madonna, MC Hammer, and many other somewhat unfortunate
style makers. This is the missing link between two distinct genres.
One of the best parts about this movie is its prophetic vision of the
massive corporate take-over of the entertainment industry. While
we are not forced to where little plastic icons on our foreheads,
there is no denying the stifling and destructive power that major
conglomerates have on what we see, hear, and read. So, if not
other reason, I love this movie for how eerily true it rings today.
