- TriviaDevon Sawa was paid $100 in Subway gift cards for his role as Sean in this movie.
- GoofsWhen "John The Mod," now "Johnny Jekyll," seems to make a faux pas by mentioning death metal, it may be an intentional attempt at a joke. He never refers to himself as being Black Metal or Death Metal during the duration of the film, nor does he ever state he's an extremist. He's only described as "Norwegian Black Metal" by other characters.

Featured review
I don't know what happened to the writer/director between this and the original, maybe just age? Either way after having watched both back to back it is insane that they came from the same mind.
The first is both poignant and satirical, dripping with irony and original takes. The sequel is, bar some interesting ideas thrown in but never realised, simply a celebration of Punk and escapism. It lacks almost everything that made the original great. Even in the first 5 minutes you can tell the difference. Everything in the sequel is glamorised, there are touches of struggle, but mostly it's something to aspire to. The original starts off showing how crappy the lifestyle is and how false a lot of the philosophy is. There is a real sense of hopelessness and anarchy, whereas this film is basically saying "yay, it's cool to be yourself!"
Overall there are things to like here and it works for a 12 year old to watch and want to emulate, but somehow the original is much more advanced despite being over 20 years old. It makes no sense, maybe it is supposed to be ironic. The original message seemed to be that everyone sells out in the end, and this could act as a meta proof of that, if so it is genius!
