- TriviaIn a 2018 UK Guardian interview, Nicolas Cage described his performance's inspiration: only just before shooting started, his 14 year marriage to Alice Kim Cage came to 'a sudden end', which was "A shocker for me... didn't see it coming, and those feelings had to go somewhere, so they went into my performance."
- GoofsWhen Nic Cage's character turns to his forge to construct his revenge weapon the metal he pours is aluminium yet when he puts it on the anvil it's miraculously turned to steel.

Red Miller: You are a vicious snowflake.
- Crazy creditsThe opening text "When I die, bury me deep, lay two speakers at my feet, put some headphones on my head and rock and roll me when I'm dead." appears to come from the final words of Douglas Roberts, a man convicted of kidnapping, robbery and murder in Texas and executed on April 20, 2005. This isn't directly credited or verified by the film.

Featured review
Revenge, blood, synthetic rock, and neon lights. Oh and of course Nic Cage.
If you watched the trailer then you have essentially seen the movie. It's a basic revenge premise that I thought would be wrapped up in complexities, given this is an art-house film. Not the case. The most important thing the director seems to care about is lighting, not telling a story.
Mandy takes it's time building up to the crux of the film. Once it gets there the last hour moves pretty quick. Nic Cage is a 'chaotic good' character out to extinguish the evil that wronged him. He does shine in a few scenes, and he makes you laugh in some others. The cult serves its purpose but there is nothing unique about them. The demon biker gang was very underwhelming. It was a big part of my interest in the film and they do nothing.
Overall there is not much nuance here. There is some blood splatter, light trickery, and a lot of fade to black transitions. It's a good time but the only memorable thing is the music.
