While filming the ending scene, Burt Reynolds got a double hernia from picking up Dolly Parton. He often joked to Dolly that he'd think of her every time he got a pang of pain.
Dom DeLuise's character, Melvin P. Thorpe was based on the real newsman, Marvin Zindler (born 1921, died July 29, 2007) who brought down the real Chicken Ranch. The incident where the Sheriff snatches the wig off Thorpe's head and holds it high, really happened between the Fayette County Sheriff and Zindler. Zindler also pioneered "rat and roach" reports about restaurant cleanliness ("Slime in the Ice Machine!").
Knowing that she'd be starring opposite Burt Reynolds, it was Dolly Parton's idea to have Miss Mona and the Sheriff romantically involved, though she faced harsh criticism from both the screenwriter and critics for this drastic deviation from the real-life story which inspired the film.
The Chicken Ranch house went on to be the Firefly residence in House of 1000 Corpses (2003).
The original Broadway production of "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" opened at the 46th Street Theater on June 19, 1978 and ran for 1,584 performances. The musical, on which this movie was based, was nominated for the 1979 Tony Award for Best Musical and the 1979 Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical.
"Miss Mona: Me jumpin' up and down? I'd black both my eyes!"
"Ed Earl: They want me to close her down, run her out of town. How can I ask her to leave when all I want her to do is stay?"
