Sting and his band The Police were little known when the film was shot, but had broken out by the time it was released.
John Lydon (the former Johnny Rotten) was originally approached for the role of Jimmy and even screen-tested for the role. However the distributors refused to insure him for the part and he was replaced.
The pinball machine that Jimmy (Phil Daniels) plays is Buckaroo manufactured by Gottlieb 1965. This is the same machine played by Elton John in Tommy (1975).
While regarded as multiple 'goofs' the various cars filmed that aren't in the proper time period were explained by the movie makers, with them stating that as they hadn't legally had the roads closed for filming the scenes with the Mods and Rockers on their Scooters and Bikes, the onus was seen as more important to keep an eye out for the Police, as the helmet laws had changed by the time of filming. Arranging road closures and ensuring proper period cars were included would have considerably raised the budget of the movie.
The scene in the pie shop where Jimmy goes for a bite of "pie, mash and liquor" was shot inside A. Cooke's Pie & Mash shop at 48 Goldhawk Road, Shepherd's Bush, London. The Who began their career in Shepherd's Bush, performing their early gigs at the Goldhawk Social Club (205 Goldhawk Rd).
"Kev: I don't give a monkey's arsehole about Mods and Rockers. Underneath, we're all the same, 'n't we? Jimmy: No, Kev, that's it. Look, I don't wanna be the same as everybody else. That's why I'm a Mod, see? I mean, you gotta be somebody, ain't ya, or you might as well jump in the sea and drown. Kev: That's why I joined the army. To be different. To get away from all this. Don't matter where you go, there's always some cunt with stars and stripes who wants to push you about."
"Jimmy: Bellboyyyyyy!"
