- The film was produced byUnited Kingdom , because the company’s owner George Harrison liked Bruce Robinson’s script very much. But the other executives of "Handmade Pictures" didn't like this movie. They wanted a nonsense movie in the style of "Moncler Theatre".
- "Handmade Films" paid Bruce Robinson a £1 screenwriting fee and £80,000 director fee, but £30,000 of which has never been in Bruce Robinson's pockets, because Robinson insisted on taking the two protagonists to the countryside in the rain. The scene of the villa was filmed, but the producer felt unnecessary. In the end, Robinson had to agree to the producer's deduction of the filming expenses of this scene from his salary.
- Although he plays an alcoholic in the film, Richard Grant Esterhuysen does not drink alcohol in real life because he is allergic to alcohol and he does not even smoke.

- Before becoming a director, Bruce Robinson was an actor. The passage in which "I" was hooked up by Uncle Monty in the film was largely due to the fact that Bruce Robinson was directed by Franco when he starred in the 1968 version of "Romeo and Juliet". Zeffirelli's hookup experience.
- The film used Jimi Hendrix’s two songs "Along the Watchtower" and "Voodoo Kid", which prompted Hendrix’s family to take back control of the song because they did not want Hendrix Always associated with drug culture.

Withnail: With the heavy rain, loneliness, and awkward drinking of wine, what is the origin of the pride of "the essence of the universe"; I: The threat of sex and the threat of unemployment occur together and resolve together, and the end is finally a growth story." The ending should be, but it must be accompanied by unspeakable loss.

[Marwood is in the pub toilets, after walking past a hulking Irishman who's called him a ponce]
Marwood: [voiceover] I could hardly piss straight with fear. Here was a man with 3/4 of an inch of brain who'd taken a dislike to me. What had I done to offend him? I don't consciously offend big men like this. And this one has a definite imbalance of hormone in him. Get any more masculine than him and you'd have to live up a tree.
Marwood: [reading graffiti] "I fuck arses." Who fucks arses?
Marwood: [aloud] Maybe *he* fucks arses!
Marwood: [voiceover] Maybe he's written this in some moment of drunken sincerity.

Withnail: [reading a newspaper] Listen to this. "Curse of the Superman. I took drugs to win medals says top athlete Geoff Woade."
Marwood: Where's the coffee?
Withnail: "In a world exclusive interview, 33 year old shot putter Geoff Woade who weighs 317 pounds, admitted taking massive doses of anabolic steroids, drugs banned in sport. It used to give him bad tempers and act up said his wife. He used to pick on me. But now he's stopped he's much better in our sex life and in our general life." Jesus Christ. This huge, thatched head with its earlobes and cannonball is now considered sane. "Geoff Woade is feeling better and is now prepared to step back into society and start tossing his orb about." Look at him! Look at Geoff Woade! His head must weight fifty pounds on its own. Imagine the size of his balls. Imagine getting into a fight with the fucker!
Marwood: Please, I don't feel good.
Withnail: That's what you'd say, but that wouldn't wash with Geoff. No! He'd like a bit of pleading. Add spice to it. In fact, he'd probably tell you what he was going to do before he did it. "I'm gonna pull you head off." "Oh no, please, don't pull my head off." "I'm gonna pull your head off because I don't like your head."
