Co-writer Jack Nicholson actually compiled the film's soundtrack in its final form, with snippets of the film's dialogue between songs, and is so credited on its LP album cover (when he saw Michael Nesmith at work in the studio and asked if he could help, Nesmith let him take over, because he said "I just want to go home."). Nicholson had unwavering enthusiasm for the film, joining in a stickering campaign to promote its premiere and declaring later that "I saw it, like, 158,000,000 times, man. I loved it!"
Rumors abound that the film's title was chosen in case a sequel was made. The advertisements and tagline for said sequel would supposedly have been "From the people who gave you HEAD".
The "box" shown in several scenes was inspired by the lounge area built for The Monkees during the filming of their TV series. Between takes, they grew bored and wandered around the studio, often getting lost, so the Screen Gems brass added a special room next to the soundstage. They would spend time there studying their scripts, composing and playing music, and smoking (the latter of which they were forbidden to do on the set). Colored lights were added to the room to page whomever was needed on the set.
The Coca-Cola Company reportedly was not amused at The Monkees' take on then-current Coke commercials in the film (a desert wanderer (Micky Dolenz) faced off against an uncooperative soda machine as a jingle played), and tried to get an injunction against it. When the film reappeared on cable and home video in 1986, Columbia Pictures was, by that time, owned by Coca-Cola and the matter was apparently forgotten.
Victor Mature agreed to appear in the film after reading the script, admitting none of it made sense to him: "All I know is it makes me laugh." His character, "The Big Victor", is presumed to be a comic jab at RCA Victor, which were the distributors for The Monkees' records, and whose parent company also owned NBC, which aired their TV series.
"Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Mike Nesmith, Peter Tork: [chanting in unison] Hey, hey, we are The Monkees, to that we all agree. A manufactured image with no philosophies."
"Testy True: [holding out her snakebitten finger] Quick! Suck it before the venom reaches my heart. Mike Nesmith: WHAT heart?"
