TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

After the success of Easy Rider (1969), Universal Studios hit upon the idea to let young filmmakers make "semi-independent" films for low budgets in hopes of generating similar profits. The idea was to make five movies for low budgets ($1 million or less), not interfere in the filmmaking process, and give the directors final cut. The other movies were: The Hired Hand (1971), The Last Movie (1971), Silent Running (1972), Diary of a Mad Housewife (1970), Two-Lane Blacktop (1971) and Minnie and Moskowitz (1971).

Inspired by The Beatles song "She's Leaving Home".

Film debut of Vincent Schiavelli.

Director Milos Forman told the actors during the strip poker scene near the end of the film to just improvise the scene in order to get real reactions out of each other.

Kathy Bates' film debut. She is credited as Bobo Bates.

Popular Dialogues

"Schiavelli: Any other questions? Ben Lockston: Uh, yes, uh, I think we all had, uh, drinks with, uh, dinner, uh... dope and, uh, the alcohol... mix? Schiavelli: Oh, *they'll mix*."

"Schiavelli: [instructing the SPFC how to smoke a joint] Now the other thing that you must remember, is that after you inhale, you take the joint and you pass it to the person sitting next to you. Do not, repeat, *do not* hold onto the joint. This is called *bogarting* the joint, and it is very rude."
