Goofs
In the several instances where the bribery money is shown, it has the appearance of real money, mostly $50 and $100 bills, but when Tom Laughlin is counting it in the final sequence, it is obviously stage money. See more »Quotes

Jane Fonda before "Barbarella", Anthony Perkins the same year as "Psycho", Tom Laughlin before "Billy Jack", Ray Walston doing the same professor bit he utilized in "Fast Times At Ridgemont High", and still the flick's a dud! Set on some mythical college campus with well-scrubbed students who look as if they're about to burst into song a la "Good News", it's a forced-friendly atmosphere that does little for wispy story of a basketball player targeted by a pretty co-ed who really wants A MAN! Fonda is alternately coy and coquettish--not a credible mix--but does look cute in her chemistry glasses. Perkins fares far worse, with a voice that sounds dubbed by a 12-year-old boy on the verge of puberty. It's not a complete loss(the director is Josh Logan, who knows how to put a picture together), but the results are still awfully sticky. *1/2 from ****
