Legacy
The film's title was used by musician Jim O'Rourke for his album Bad Timing, the first in a trilogy of albums which O'Rourke named after films Nicolas Roeg had made during the nineteen-eighties — the other two being Eureka (taken from Eureka) and Insignificance (taken from Insignificance). The film was also a partial inspiration for The Glove's 1983 album Blue Sunshine, a side project of The Cure's Robert Smith and Siouxsie & the Banshees' Steve Severin. Also, according to Smith, the song "Piggy in the Mirror" from The Cure's 1984 album The Top was also inspired by the film.
On September 20, 2005 the film was released on special edition DVD by The Criterion Collection, becoming an addition to its continuing series "dedicated to gathering the greatest films from around the world and publishing them in editions of the highest technical quality." While it has also become available through Criterion for digital purchase and rental on iTunes, it has not yet been released on Blu-ray. It is one of four films by Roeg to have received the honour.
