1 hour - 5 minutes: Trip takes a look at a KISS magazine. The magazine on the rack right above it is titled "Mystery." Coincidence? The little kid in Ace makeup is playing the KISS pinball game. Although KISS are pictured on it wearing the Love Gun era costumes, the machine wasn't released until the start of the Dynasty era in 1979, not 1978. (Thanks Gin, for the pinball machine info!)
1 hour - 11 minutes: Beth pulls her shirt sleeve over her arm while getting dressed. When the camera shows her again, her top is back up around her neck.
1 hour - 13 minutes: Shannon Tweed has a kissing scene with Edward Furlong. Gene Simmons was teasing Edward that he'd better get the shot right the first time since he had to kiss the mother of Gene's kids!
Lex saves the day.
"Lex, you're the coolest." ~ Christine.

1 hour - 15 minutes: Lex calls on the dogs to attack the chop shop guys. The little Basset Hound runs into the garage three separate times.
1 hour - 18 minutes: That Hostess Ho-Ho really packs a punch! Making quite a loud and painful noise as it hits Trip's face.
Hawk and Lex ~ bloody and beaten.
Victory.
A moment of triumph.
The end: While the guys are at the concert, apparently one of the girls standing near them is Monique Frehley - Ace Frehley's daughter. Behind the guys stand Carl Dupre (the film's screenwriter), Tim Sullivan (the associate producer) and Peter Schink (the film editor) in costume.
The KISS logo in the concert scene is from the '89 'Hot In The Shade' tour and is shaped differently than the original. Hey, I was at that '89 concert! Ace is wearing blue makeup over his eyes, but he didn't start this until the Dynasty period a year later. The costumes being worn are those from the 96-97 reunion tour, and are slightly different from the original '77 ones. (Thanks again Gin, for this info!)
