I personally felt Freak Out! was very mediocre. Apart from 'Brain Police', 'Help I'm a Rock', and 'The Return of the Son of Monster Magnet' the album is largely average... and what's with the freaking kazoo sounding solo every song?

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
Al Pacino = God
