TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

One scene in the film shows a person using Liquid Paper to correct sheet music. Liquid Paper was invented by Michael Nesmith's mother.

The review of the film Head (1968) that Peter reads is by Pauline Kael writing for The New York Times. She admitted to walking out of the film halfway through it. The film has, however, been reconsidered by many critics and is now thought of as a classic of 1960s cinema and a harbinger of post-modernism.

At one point in the film, character Davy Jones says to one of the other Monkees who has just awakened him suddenly "Hey, man, are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Davy Jones actually died of a heart attack in 2012 at age 66.

Even in scenes in the film that took place before and during the filming of the pilot and the first season's episodes of The Monkees (1966), as well as the recording of their third album, Headquarters, The Monkees throughout this film have hairstyles that they sported at some point during the TV series' second season, except for Davy, who has a hairstyle that he sported at some point during its first season.

The film originally aired on VH1.

Popular Dialogues

"Harris Green: You're crazy, you know that? Do you have any idea what you have just given up? Peter Tork: You can never move forward standing in the same place, Harris. Harris Green: Yeah, well, let's see how many records you can sell when you're not in people's living rooms."

"Micky Dolenz: Guys, it's not like it's personal, I mean dozens of pilots go unsold every year. Davy Jones: Well, after this I'm done. Peter Tork: Are you going back to England? Davy Jones: Yeah, why not? Being a jockey is what I really wanted to be. Mike Nesmith: Well, you're definitely the right size for it. Davy Jones: For your information, I'm rather tall for horse racing. Peter Tork: The horses are shorter in England."
