    • Trivia
      The crowd shown in Buffalo outside the War Memorial Auditorium was actually waiting to see the Van Halen 1984 tour stop in Buffalo. Concert officials kept the doors shut to allow the crowd to build. Weezer drummer Patrick Wilson was within this outside crowd and credits this concert as his inspiration to begin taking drum lessons. Rick James was also in attendance at the show, and Wilson often recalls to friends the sight of James and his entourage passing closely by on the floor.
    • Goofs
      In Bobby's, as Billy, first concert in Buffalo, the venue changes from an amphitheater to an arena from shot to shot of the crowd.
    • Quotes

    Sin and corruption

    The tale of Faust is the basis for the last film George Burns plays the Creator/Deity of Space, Time, and the Universe. Oh God, You Devil offers him a chance to see how the other half lives as he plays God's nemesis.

    Again it lacks the profundity of the original, but Burns's droll humor again carries the day. And a double dose of it from down under is always good.

    An ambitious man of music Ted Wass is not happy with the way his career is going. He'd like to be Bruce Springsteen or Jon Bon Jovi instead of playing yet another wedding or bar Mitzvah. Who does he call on but George Burns the dark side.

    Why the Deity is intervening for Wass is really never explained. He's a decent guy but so are a gazillion others. Maybe it was the chance to be in Las Vegas. If you are going to battle sin and corruption this is the place to do it.

    A chance to see George Burns is always a reason to watch a film.
