Trivia

Karen Black's film debut as Betty, a girl seen dancing at Luigi's, and posing on a stool for The Beard. She is not seen frolicking nude in the quarry with other teen girls because, as told by executive producer David F. Friedman, her artistic agent paid US$2,500 to have that scene's negatives destroyed before the final cut. See more »
