Did You Know?
Trivia | Despite being portrayed in an Oscar-nominated movie, Larry Flynt was refused an invitation to the 1997 Academy Awards, so Woody Harrelson brought Flynt to the award shows as his "plus one". See more » |
Goofs | In the oral arguments before the Supreme Court, there are nine Justices. Those arguments took place on 2 December 1987, when there were only 8 Justices on the Supreme Court bench: Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr. had retired on June 26, 1987 and his successor, Justice Anthony Kennedy, would be sworn in on 18 February, 1988. Kennedy took no part in the consideration or decision of the case.

Quotes |
Larry Flynt:
Who is this magazine for, anyway? I mean, you know, it's like if you don't make twenty thousand plus a year - you don't jerk off. Seven million people buyin' it, and nobody's readin' it. Gentlemen, "Playboy" is mocking you. See more » |
