Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The disco used for filming had sat closed for years under its old name, the Millionaire's Club, cycling through failed reopenings including one called Cabaret, before it relaunched in December 1977, months after shooting wrapped, as the nightclub Osko's.
- The film's triple-record soundtrack devoted an entire third disc to a single track pressed on only one side: Donna Summer's nearly 16-minute cover of "Je t'aime... moi non plus."
