Differences with real life events (as described by the book Kaikki yhdestä pahasta) * Apulanta's first rehearsal space was not at Saha but at their high school and the incidents with the band Black Widow happened there. * Apulanta did not break into the child foster home to steal the drums as they had access to the place. * Apulanta started out by playing death metal, then Misfits covers, and only later their original material * Toni's girlfriend was called Tanja, not Elli. They were engaged, but broke up earlier than described in the movie. * Toni tells his girlfriend how he might be allowed to have some of his songs on Apulanta's first recording. Actually most of the early Apulanta songs were written by Toni, not by Antti. * Sipe and Mandy actually dated in 1993 before Mandy went back home. * Toni wrote Mitä kuuluu sitting in the garden, not in his room * Apulanta's crisis meeting in the pizzeria (in 1995 before making Hajonnut EP) lasted apparently for the whole day, unlike in the movie where it's quite brief.

Not only a movie about a punk band, but a glimpse into a devastating economic depression
