TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

According to Writer and Director Peter Greenaway, there are one hundred things beginning with the letter "s" in Smut's (Jason Edwards') room and one hundred things beginning with the letter "m" in Madgett's (Bernard Hill's) room.

Inspired the structure of the story "24 Hours" in Neil Gaiman's comic book The Sandman (issue #6) (1989). Mentioned in Entertainment Weekly issue 1487/88.

The words "kiss me hard" appeared on a sheet of paper in a typewriter. This was probably a reference to Admiral Lord Nelson's death at sea, when his last words were "Kiss me, Hardy".

The painting in Madgett's room is that of Peter Bruegel's "Children's Games".

The license number plate on Madgett's car is NID-26 B/W, same as the crashed car in the beginning of A Zed & Two Noughts (1985).

Popular Dialogues

"Smut: The object of this game is to dare to fall with a noose around your neck from a place sufficiently high enough off the ground, such that the fall will hang you. The object of the game is to punish those who have caused great unhappiness by their selfish actions. This is the best game of all, because the winner is also the loser, and the judge's decision is always final."

"Cissie Colpitts 1: The flies are settling on him. Madgett: Well, shoo them off. Use a newspaper. Cissie Colpitts 1: Madgett, I'm in need of legal aid, not a flyswatter."
