Director Jim Jarmusch was dismayed to discover all the money he paid for the rights to Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You" went to the record company, with nothing going to Hawkins himself. When the film earned a profit, Jarmusch took it upon himself to track down Hawkins (who was living in a trailer park, at the time) and give him some money. It was the beginning of a friendship between the two which lasted until Hawkins' death. According to Jarmusch, Hawkins continuously promised to pay him back, despite Jamursch's insistence that the money was a gift.
The whole film is sequence shots with live sound - editing consisted simply of putting them end to end.
In the scene where Willie and Eddie pick up Eva from the Hot Dog stand, director Jim Jarmusch can be seen eating a hot dog while wearing a beanie in the background.
The film's scenes are each a single shot, followed by a few seconds of black screen.
Started out as a 30-minute short subject film (shot in 1982) and was later expanded into a 3-part feature. The first section, "The New World," takes place in New York, the second, "One Year Later," in Cleveland, and the last, "Paradise," in Florida.
"Eddie: You know, it's funny... you come to someplace new, an'... and everything looks just the same. Willie: No kiddin', Eddie."
"Willie: You're sure you don't want a TV dinner? Eva: Yes. I'm not hungry. Why is it called TV dinner? Willie: Um... You're supposed to eat it while you watch TV. Television. Eva: I know what a TV is. Where does that meat come from? Willie: What do you mean? Eva: What does that meat come from? Willie: I guess it comes from a cow. Eva: From a cow? It doesn't even look like meat. Willie: Eva, stop bugging me, will you? You know, this is the way we eat in America. I got my meat, I got my potatoes, I got my vegetables, I got my dessert, and I don't even have to wash the dishes."
