Punch-Drunk Love/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Actor Allusion: In many ways, Punch-Drunk Love serves as much as a commentary on Adam Sandler films as it does Romantic Comedies. P.T. Anderson referred to it as "an arthouse Adam Sandler film."
  • Throw It In:
    • Barry's line "That would be very food" was a typo which P.T. Anderson decided to leave in when filming.
    • Also, the effect of the camera suddenly jumping to an out-of-focus shot and then quickly refocusing came about when the steadicam being operated bumped into a table.
