| Apocalypse Now | The Sisters of Mercy |
|---|---|
| Director Francis Coppola proposed this film ten years before he was given funds to do it. | Much like Spig and the new album. |
| Originally scheduled to be shot over six weeks, it ended up taking 16 months. | Much like Spig and the new album. |
| Sam Bottoms was on speed, LSD, and marijuana during the shooting of parts of the movie. | Spig was "recovering" from "exhuastion" during the recording of F&L&A |
| A slow pan over a table in Kurtz's room shows a copy of "From Ritual to Romance", a book by Jessie Weston that inspired Eliot's poem "The Wasteland". | Spig doesn't own a copy of The Missions "Wasteland" but who knows? |
| Coppola threatened suicide several times during the making of the film. | Many Sisters fans threatened suicide whilst waiting on the new album. |
| Director Francis Coppola lost 100 pounds while filming. | East West lost 55,000 pounds and Wayne and Craig lost 25,000. |
