This movie, the last film of actor Warren Oates was actually filmed before Oates' penultimate picture, Blue Thunder (1983), but was first released stateside about a week after that movie.
Dennis Quaid broke his nose during the making of this film, as he had done three years previously on The Long Riders (1980).
Dennis Quaid had himself in real life been an amateur boxer for eight years.
The real life "Toughman Contest" was, according to Wikipedia, "founded in 1979 in Bay City, Michigan by boxing promoter Art Dore, [which] is a chance for the novice amateur fighters (those with no more than 5 sanctioned wins in the past 5 years) to test themselves in the ring".
The name of the boxing contest was "The Toughman Contest" or "The Toughman Competition". It represented a real life version which had been established about three years earlier in 1979.
"Heckler in Torreyson's: Boys, we ain't gon' get them titties back till this bum get's off."
"Caroline Long: You were boxing. Why? Art Long: "Why?" For five thousand bucks: that's why. I won. Caroline Long: You won five thousand dollars? Art Long: No, no, no, no, no. I GET five thousand bucks if I win tomorrow night. See; preliminaries were tonight, and the finals are tomorrow night. Caroline Long: So what'd you get tonight? Art Long: A black eye."
