Did You Know?
| Trivia | After seeing a rough cut of the film, Burt Reynolds regretted making it. He fired his agent for recommending the role to him, and did not participate in promotional interviews. Reynolds ended up winning a Golden Globe for the role, and being nominated for an Academy Award for his performance. Despite being a front runner for the latter, it was widely rumored that he did not win because he had distanced himself from the movie earlier. See more » |
| Goofs | When Little Bill complains to the cinematographer [Kurt] about his wife having sex with other men, he says, "My fucking wife has an ass in her cock in the driveway Kurt." Little Bill was supposed to say "My fucking wife has a COCK in her ASS in the driveway Kurt", but the director loved the way the incorrect line showed how angry and flustered Bill was, and left the scene intact.
