I eliminated the following trivia as being only tangential to this film.

  • George Lucas listed The Trip among the films most influential to him as a young director. The film's dream sequences, where Paul finds and understands himself, were a base for the landscapes in the [Star Wars] films. Namely the progression from Nothingness (Sand -> Tatooine), Seclusion (Snow / Cold -> Hoth), Consciousness of Ignorance (Swamp / Jungle -> Dagobah), to Content (Forest -> Endor). The dress and persona of Paul Groves was a model for that of Luke Skywalker. Swinterich (talk) 04:48, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • An interesting note about the movie poster and logo, in the early 1980's and 90's a local Los Angeles cover band, The Trip-The Ultimate 60's Experience changed their existing block lettered drum logo to the exact same logo as the 1967 movie The Trip. A few months later their "then" manager received a call from someone associated with the old production company that released the movie, saying that the band either had to change their logo or pay royalties in order to continue using it or face copyright infringement. After a lengthly phone call, The Trip's manager via his lawyer, told the company that since it had been over 20 years since the movie's release that The Trip was perfectly in their rights to use the logo, which they did until they disbanded in the late 1990's.

The Broken Glass Situation …

[edit]

It’s touched upon briefly, when discussing edits to the film, but not in the body of the synopsis. In the version of the film, with the introductory warning, the film ends with a freeze frame that shatters like broken glass. This was done, supposedly, at the insistence of the studio, to indicate it was a bad trip. ( Roger Corman was against it, but had no choice.) 75.106.32.81 (talk) 17:10, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
