Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Roadkill (1989)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Roadkill was inspired by Toronto rock band A Neon Rome: Bruce McDonald first planned a concert film of their tour, but singer Neal Arbik grew disillusioned, behaved erratically and quit the music industry before the film or the band's second album could be made. The film became a fictionalized portrayal of the band on the verge of collapse.
