Trivia

The date on the headstone lists Micheal Malone’s birthdate as April 20, 1952. April 20 is also the birthdate of Adolf Hitler.

In accordance with the film’s strong political theme, the official Internet site used a grassroots pre-publicity marketing strategy. Users on the site, dubbed “American Carolers”, could make use of online tools to email friends about the film, network with other fans, etc. Points were given based on participation, and prizes (tickets, posters, etc) were awarded to the highest scorers. The names of the top 16 “Carolers” are on the DVD, in the Bonus Features under “Special Thanks”.
