Short description
A prim and proper schoolgirl goes against her society grandmother's wishes when she dates a motorcycle-riding juvenile delinquent.
What's left behind the scenes
- James Intveld and Rachel Sweet provide the singing voices for Johnny Depp and Amy Locane in the film.
- Although Johnny Depp was not entrusted with performing the vocal parts of his character, the actor’s musical and concert experience was still useful: Depp acted as a consultant and helped assistants choose guitars, amplifiers, and other musical equipment.
- The film is set in Baltimore – the hometown of director John Waters – in 1954.
- Johnny Depp hates to dance, but director John Waters convinced him it was necessary for the film.
- Iggy Pop was forced to shave his head for the film. John Waters still keeps a lock of his hair in a photo album at home.
- Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr., and Jim Carrey were also considered for the role of Cry-Baby.
- Drew Barrymore was considered for the role of Allison.
- The film is set in 1954. However, Milton in Ramona's house is reading an issue of Tales To Astonish #12, which wouldn't be released until October 1960.
- Prisoners are watching the film "Creature from the Black Lagoon" (1954) with 3D glasses, but a regular black and white version is playing on the screen.
- To find a young actor for the role of Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker, director John Waters spent $30 on magazines for teenagers. Johnny Depp was on every cover, very popular at the time due to the series "21 Jump Street" (1987-1991). Depp found the script funny and strange, and he agreed to take on this unusual role for himself in an attempt to move away from the image of a teenage idol.
- Although the tattoo with the name "Cry-Baby" on Johnny Depp's arm is fake, the tattoo of the Native American above it is real.
