Question 2

How did New York punk bands like the Ramones use this film?

Accepted Answer

New York music clubs like CBGB's would often screen the film as backing visuals during performances of punk bands such as the Ramones, particularly the disco-attack scene, as a way to express disdain for the disco scene.

Question 3

What famous horror film series shares a street with Blue Sunshine?

Accepted Answer

The street used for O'Malley's neighborhood in Blue Sunshine was later the same street used for A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).

Question 4

Why did the director's daughter have to dub the lines for the children in the film?

Accepted Answer

The parents of the two child actors pulled them from the shoot after seeing the potentially disturbing attack scene being shot, so they were taken before they could be looped in for audio. Director Jeff Lieberman's three-year-old daughter dubbed their lines.

Question 5

What was the real-life venue used for the disco in the film's climax?

Accepted Answer

The disco for the film's climax was actually a country-western bar in Los Angeles that was converted to look like a discotheque, because the disco craze hadn't yet reached the West Coast at the time of shooting.
