Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Andy Kaufman makes his film debut as a cop who shoots people at the St. Patrick's Day parade. Cohen cast him after seeing his Foreign Man act.
Cohen wrote this in three days after seeing a news report about the 'Son of Sam' killer claiming divine instruction. The film predates the actual capture by months.
