Robert Evans sent Debra Winger back from location because he did not think she was attractive enough for the lead; it was only at the insistence of Director James Bridges that she did the role.
After initial box-office returns were surprisingly low, a newspaper poll was taken in the summer of 1980 to figure out why teenagers were not flocking to see the film. One of the main complaints from kids was that they did not know what the word Urban meant.
Patsy Swayze, Patrick Swayze's mother, taught John Travolta how to do the two-step for the movie.
At the time the film was shot, Gilley's, used as the film's main nightclub location, was the largest nightclub in the world in terms of available space for the patrons, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. This was later overtaken quite substantially by Billy Bob's Texas, in Fort Worth. It is so large that it does not have a mechanical bull. It has real ones that are ridden in an indoor arena at the northeast corner of the building.
In the early scenes of the movie, John Travolta as Bud sports a beard. According to Director James Bridges, Travolta wanted to keep the beard throughout the film but, after a lunch-date with the actor in a very popular restaurant failed to attract even one autograph-seeker, Travolta was convinced to shave it off.
"Sissy: You a real cowboy? Bud: Well that depends on what you think a real cowboy is? Sissy: Know how to do 2-step? Bud: You bet. Sissy: Wanna prove it?"
"Bud: Now, you gotta learn something - there are just certain things a girl cain't do. Sissy: Name one. Marshall: I can name serval, pissin' on the side of a wall, gettn laid while your pants are still on... Sissy: Why would you want to?"
