- TriviaFirst career nude scenes for Olivia D'Abo, who was 14 at the time. She said in an interview in 1986 that she matured physically at age 13, a year before making this movie. In fact she said director John Derek thought she had breast implants until she took her clothes off on set the first time and he saw her breasts were natural.
- GoofsThe number and placement of the lances during the final bull fight sequence continuously change.
- Quotes
Lida MacGillivery: [in bathroom] Stand up.
Paloma: [standing upright in bathtub, unashamedly naked] What you going to do?
Lida MacGillivery: I'm going to rinse you off.
Paloma: But why?
Lida MacGillivery: So you don't itch.
Paloma: But...
Lida MacGillivery: Look at you!

- Alternate versionsIVE Home Video released two different versions of this film on VHS. The original uncut version (catalog no. 60936) running 105 minutes and a trimmed "R-Rated" version (catalog no. 60948) running 98 minutes which has been trimmed of some of the more erotic footage.
I've given a rating of 3 for Bolero simply because The Body lifts it above 1. If you want to see Bo derek's body, watch this or Tarzan the Ape Man. If you want to watch anything else, watch something else.
