1. Phil Spector was obviously drinking too much.
2. Paul's head barely fit in the practice room. 
3. Billy Preston was considered to replace George.
4. The movie crew had shitty drugs.
5. Ringo was ready to walk out but could not get up off his drum stool.
6. The title song
7. Throwaways like "Maggie Mae"
8. The most expensive and time consuming project for the band
9. The flick must have inspired that Metallica movie, trauma drama.
10. They should have stuck with the Get Back theme.
11. John and Yoko prancing and dancing........
