Film References
As with most records by 18 Visions, there are a multitude of movie quotes on the album. This would however be the final album to feature some (no doubt because the following two albums would be co-distributed by Sony, and would not allow the band to be given the chance to run into possible legal debates).
A quote from the film River's Edge, released in 1985, is the intro of the song "One Hell of a Prize Fighter". Such is the same case for the song "The Critic" which is taken from the film Fast Times At Ridgemont High (1982). "There is Always" is a remake of the theme from the original The Manchurian Candidate from 1962. The band also got the name "Sonic Death Monkey" from the band which Jack Black plays with in the film High Fidelity.

Famous quotes containing the word film:
“All film directors, whether famous or obscure, regard themselves as misunderstood or underrated. Because of that, they all lie. They’re obliged to overstate their own importance.”
—François Truffaut (1932–1984)
