I think it's notable that 1) the star of the movie hated it, and 2) the director reacted so poorly to the star's dislike. A quick Google search turns up... http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/000134.php http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,403658,00.html http://talkingmoviezzz.blogspot.com/2007/04/what-ever-happened-to-savage-steve.html http://www.siue.edu/ALESTLE/library/spring1998/mar.26.98/life1.html http://www.pajiba.com/better-off-dead.htm http://www.aboutfilm.com/movies/i/iceharvest/cusack.htm

If I get a chance, I plan on synthesizing a well-referenced paragraph from those to include. Jclemens (talk) 04:38, 13 March 2008 (UTC) Reply

If that's not poetry, sheerest, melifluent poetry, then I don't know what is. Maikel (talk) 20:05, 20 September 2009 (UTC) Reply

This seems like an obvious nick, or homage to the "Chinese" drag racers in the film The Hollywood Knights. Should this be mentioned? o0drogue0o 12:31, 3 October 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by O0drogue0o (talk • contribs)

Am I mad, or did the title at one point have a question mark at the end? Like, "Better Off Dead?", or "Better Off Dead...?" ~2025-34241-37 (talk) 09:07, 17 November 2025 (UTC) Reply
