Because he was so good as Darby Crash, Shane West was hired as the new vocalist and The Germs reunited for a tour.
The band playing before The Germs is most likely meant to be Black Flag, as they are playing their song "Police Story".
In the film, Don Bolles is seen as joining the band in September 1977. In reality, Cliff Hanger was the band's drummer at this time, and Don did not join the band until several months later in early 1978.
During a majority of the scenes that take place in 1977, Lorna Doom is seen with a raven style haircut, however, photographic evidence confirms that she still had a poodle haircut during this period.
