TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Brian Dennehy was quoted after the release as saying "I've made lots of movies but only one film."

Etienne-Louis Boullee (1728-1799) was a real architect. Many of his neoclassical designs that were built still exist, mostly in Paris, France. His project for the Cenotaph for Isaac Newton has been much studied by architects for its viability, not least by Albert Speer who modeled the New Berlin for Hitler. The cake presented to Kracklite at the initial banquet is a perfect replica of Boullee's drawings for the Isaac Newton Cenotaph.

Much is made of the withdrawal from circulation of the Bank Of England one pound note which featured Sir Isaac Newton on the obverse. They ceased to be produced at the end of 1984 and were withdrawn from circulation on 11 March 1988.

The sound track is one of the best albums of Wim Mertens who is best known for his opus "Struggle for Pleasure".

Popular Dialogues

"Caspasian Speckler: Your wife is very beautiful, Signor Kracklite, especially when she is pregnant. Stourley Kracklite: Yes, that's right. She is pregnant. But not with your child, Speckler. Caspasian Speckler: True. I'm very grateful to you for that. Your child, shall we say, is the most perfect contraceptive. [Kracklite turns and punches Speckler in the nose]"

"Stourley Kracklite: All fascists are meat-eaters."
