- TriviaThe giant lobster was built in one and a half weeks by cast member Vincent Peranio, who would go on to a career as a film production designer. It cost about thirty-seven dollars to make.
- GoofsWhen Divine approaches a car with 2 lovers smooching in it, she is armed with a sledgehammer she did not have in previous shots. She then attempts to pull the lovers out of the car without success, though in the immediately following shot of her bashing the car, it's empty and the lovers have vanished.
- Quotes
Mr. David: Yes folks, this isn't any cheap X-rated movie or any 5th rate porno play, this is the show you want! Lady Divine's cavalcade of perversions, the sleaziest show on earth! Not actors, not paid impostors, but real actual filth who have been carefully screened in order to present to you the most flagrant violation of natural law known to man! These assorted sluts, fags, dykes and pimps know no bounds! They have committed acts against God and nature, acts that by their mere existence would make any decent person recoil in disgust!

- Alternate versionsThe film was unreleased in the UK until the 1990 Castle video release, and this was then cut by almost 5 minutes by the BBFC to remove a closeup of a man's penis and to heavily edit a scene where rosary beads are inserted into Divine's rectum.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Divine Waters (1985)
This is true outsider art from John Waters. I love his outrageous attacks on the conventional. That's why I love the opening freak show. It's rather short, too short in fact. The plot turns into a muddle. I get dizzy with Waters panning back and forth in every conversation. He keeps zooming in and out. He's never been a great camera operator. He's trying too hard and not good at it. On the other hand, the movie never stops being fascinating. His wild characterization never allows the movie to be bland. It is a bloody mess. I'm not quite sure who the other characters are sometimes. This is simply weird. It is wondrously weird.
