Trivia:

For some reason, the film contains a number of references to the James Bond film series. The James Bond theme song can be briefly heard in the soundtrack. Dr Young, at one instance, refers to himself as "case 007". And (Terence) Young is also the name of the director of most James Bond movies up to when Deep Throat was made.

Quotes:

Closing Title: The End. And Deep Throat to you all.

Movie Connections:

Referenced in The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977)

i thought this was about the watergate undercover operation but what did i know?

anyhow, for a genuine masterclass on how to make a very low budget operation which has reputedly made more money than all the 'star wars' movies put together then look no further. this is the sort of thing which makes the term 'swallowing my pride' all the more difficult to fathom... r.i.p. linda.
