Movie Trivia:
- The reason that the teenagers listen only to reggae music is that this film was actually shot in Jamaica.
-
The "Dreamland Theatre" shown in the film is actually The Ward Theatre in Kingston, Jamaica.
-
The title "Popcorn" was linked to an element in the story. This element was removed before the final cut. The producers and distributor liked the title so it was kept.
-
This was such a box office disappointment in the United States that in many markets it bypassed first run cinemas and was booked directly into second run/discount cinemas.
-
After three weeks of shooting, Amy O'Neill was replaced by Jill Schoelen.
