TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The hotel where the three stories converge is no longer standing, so many fans of the movie have made pilgrimages to the site only to find that it no longer exists. It can, however, be seen in the background of the scene in Great Balls of Fire! (1989) where Alec Baldwin is preaching from his broken-down car.

The radio DJ is voiced by singer and actor Tom Waits. Waits also plays a radio DJ in Down by Law (1986), another film from Jim Jarmusch.

The book Luisa is reading when she is approached by the man with a story about Elvis' ghost is "Orlando Furioso" (The Frenzy of Orlando), an Italian epic poem by Ludovico Ariosto.

This film contains some of the last known footage of Stax Records.

The film is included on Roger Ebert's "Great Movies" list.

Popular Dialogues

"[Mitzukoand Jun hear a loud noise outside] Mitzuko: Was that a gun? Jun: Probably. This is America."
