Elmore Silk's house stood at what is now 40 Ninth Street, Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada. When asking for a ride to this location, Julius asks the driver if they are going to New Waterford, which is a neighboring town to Glace Bay. In the movie, the house has the civic number 88 on the outside, it is unclear if the numbers were changed by the filmmakers for shooting, or if the civic numbers in the area have been updated since the movie was filmed. The structure was actually a duplex, Elmore's half has since been demolished, but as of 2012 the other half (38 Ninth St) still stands and appears to be occupied. Update: 38 Ninth St (the other half of Elmore's house) was demolished sometime between 2012 & 2024. As of 2024 both properties are now a vacant lot.

The film received a restoration and subsequent screenings in 2024 with star Harris Yulin doing a Q&A afterward and was made available to purchase on region A blu-ray in 2025. The limited edition blu-ray features director Alex Cox speaking about Candy Mountain, a video talk by author David N. Meyer called "The Road Goes on Forever" and a 16 page booklet with a new essay by author John Dixon. Unfortunately, the 2024 Harris Yulin Q&A was not made available on the release.
