Quotes
Gene Harbrough:
Who's he, the town asshole?
Jonathan Bellah:
Yeah. And he's really good at it, too.
Goofs
In the fight scene at the drive in, hamburgers on the menu on the wall are 95 cents - a little steep for 1955, or 1965 as far as that goes.
Crazy Credits
The 20th Century Fox logo fades to reveal the iconic phrase from Star Wars, "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." This appears for several seconds before "Nelsonville, Ohio 1956" is added to the the still.
Alternate Versions
The US Home Video version on VHS shows more nudity than the theatrical and DVD releases. This is due to a framing issue, and not alternate or extended footage. The VHS version must be open matte. It shows more image above and below the 1.85:1 framing, but some of the image on the left and right is cropped. This results in quite a bit more female nudity during the sex scene.
